Need Help KORG MS-20

Hello everyone! Guten Tak!

Sorry for alienating this beautiful German synth based forum!

I'm a guy from Moscow and will be coming to Germany for practise work for about 3 month.

While my stay, i'm really looking into buying Korg ms-20 as they're pretty hard to find here (mint especially).
I know that there is a good german ebay but i'm more interested in actually seeing/touching the thing before buying it to make sure that everything's perfect.

Too bad that i don't speak German, it would have been much easier.

I'd be really glad if you could give me some info/advise on where in Germany (except ebay.de) can i find synthesizer vintage shops, sites selling gear (berlin, halle and all around those places would be most useful)?

I'll be staying at Hettstedt.

Sorry again everyone for breaking in.

Thanks everyone in advance and a Happy New Year to everyone

If you are also interested in newer analog synth stuff you should definatelty visit Schneiders Büro in Berlin:
http://www.schneidersbuero.de/

A new semi-modular analog synth with many features, superb build quality (Switchcraft jacks, Spectrol pots, etc.) and sound ist the Anyware SEMTEX XL:
http://www.anyware-instruments.de

Sounds of course different to an MS-20, is more a semi-modular Oberheim SEM clone.

Well, the Filters are also available as new:

Analogue Sol

Well, the Filters are also available as new:

Analogue Solutions Filtered Coffee:
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~concuss/
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~concuss/fc.htm
Costs around 300 Euro.

Maybe available through Schneiders Büro (listed on the site).

Another alternative is the MOTM-420 module:
http://www.synthtech.com/motm420.html

Also available as DIY-kit and there are some DIY-schemos around,
e.g. from Jürgen Haible for a MS-20 filter clone.

No need to spend so much money (> 700 Euro) for a MS-20 alone IMHO.

since the ms20 is out of sale you can only try to find one on those little private ads like this forum and others..

there is also musicgear.de
or keyboards.de auction (all german, sorry..)
or thomann who also have ads.. finding an ms20 is hard these days because most people know what they are selling..

I assume you want the original, no clone and no software like legacy, right?..

you may need to find private person, rather than shops.. there are almost no shops selling vintage gear in germany.. maybe because it's hard to sell with VAT ...

Yes, i need the original MS20 as it is, and yeah, i knew it's going to be hard.

Are there any famous boards for "Gear Wanted" and stuff?

Thanks for the info,

well, there are various forums , in your case it may be easier to use the international ones like analogue heaven, electro * the small ads "kleinanzeigen" on thomann (the link will appear below from time to time..)
musicgear.de and somesuch..

also try our neighbourhood psychedelickitchen.net and electronicattack.de ..

I dont' know if some1 currently wants to sell an ms20.. if you stay patient you will surely get one.. I assume 600-800€ must be what you have to give..

mine will not go.. for now..

i have time to wait anyway. I'll be i Germany from january till april but would probably be able to buy one from february!

I reckon yeah, i just have to wait for the right time.

Thanks a lot, friend and if you somehow decide to sell yourse, well, then you know that i'm always there, waiting patiently

Cheers,
Sein

I suggest you place an ad in the "Wanted - Suche" section of this forum.
MS20 don´t come up for sale very often, but who knows?
