I got one of these a few years back from a guy for only UK £50, strings are nice, the rest of the sound was garbage like the organ. Stick them thru a smallstone phaser, lovely.

I'm a composer/musician from the Lowlands and now using digital stuff. But I ran into this thing via Prepal, where the Going Price is $ 450 !?!?! I bought a RS-09 new, somewhere in 1981 I think. Not yet at this price as far as I know! But 1981 should at least be about the year of birth of the RS-09. I think back with very much kindness playing and using this instrument in a new-wave band. Of course it is not comparable with modern synths, but it was really something handier and with better sounds than a contemporary Solina String Ensemble (where is that thing gone?). I can only judge by memory, but it's worth a 5 when you're looking for an early 80's sound!

I am a big fan of the strings on this on. Forget the boring organ sound and use those amazing strings - now i just need the Sh-09...

Only cost me $100 on ebay, and it was worth every penny. For a synth this old, it still is holding up very well. The polyphony on the strings can be a bit weird, but on the organ, it's perfect. Mixing the two gives a really fat, synth-string sort of sound. For as cheap as they are right now, it definitely couldn't hurt to add a really original synth such as this to your collection.
