Restored to
factory tune.Warranted a year.

We rebuild vintage Moog, Roland, Korg and ARP synths on our Berlin bench and sell them with twelve months’ warranty. Your own instrument is welcome too.

  1. Listen first

    Every instrument is powered up slowly and played through before a screw comes out. We note what it does, not what the listing said.

  2. Recap and clean

    Dried capacitors come out. Pots, sliders, key contacts and jacks are cleaned and reseated.

  3. Calibrate

    Oscillators are trimmed to track across the keyboard; filters and envelopes go back to the service-manual figures.

  4. Burn in, then sell

    It runs on the bench before it is listed, then leaves with a year’s warranty.

Ask about this one

These five show the kind of instrument we restore. What is ready to leave changes from week to week, so ask before you travel.

One bench, four makers

We only work on Moog, Roland, Korg and ARP. Narrow on purpose: the same circuits cross the bench every week, so faults get found, not guessed.

12 months

Every instrument we sell carries a year’s warranty. If it drifts, crackles or goes quiet, it comes back to the bench.

Your own synth

Bring in the instrument you already love. We find the fault, tell you what it needs, and repair it on the same bench.

Here in Berlin

Drop it off by hand and collect it by hand. No courier between you and a fifty-year-old keyboard.

Try before you buy

Book a slot and play the instrument you are after through the bench amp before you decide.
