FS: French Connection

2008-04-10 by jalmari3

I have Analogue Systems "French Connection" Ondes Martenot type 
controller for sale.

Condition: Only little used at home. Mint (look below)
Purchased: 10. November 2006
Location: UK, Cornwall (look below)
Price: Euro 1500 + shipping
Reason for selling: I have found, that trombone is enough for me...

Price at MESI France is Euro 2250 (150% from my price):

Connection,366.html

Actually the unit is located in Finland right now and is not 
working!. This is most likely due to faulty transformer, but you 
don't have worry about it: As soon as I hear about your serious 
*intention* to buy the instrument, I am going to send it to Analogue 
Systems to be checked and fixed at my expense. Only after they have 
confirmed everything is OK, should you do the payment (Euro 1500 plus 
shipping from UK). Then Analogue Systems will send the unit directly 
to you. This "plan" is meant to save shipping costs and to shorten 
storage time at Analogue Systems. It is for your confidence too.

This is me playing eyes closed and after not much practicing. Unlike 
Theremin, the French Connection is easy to play - better intonation 
is possible:
