Yamaha VL7 price guide?

Post by doctordoctor » Wed Dec 03, 2014 8:10 pm

Hi all,
New here but hoping you might be able to help - I'm thinking of selling my Yamaha VL7 physical modelling synth (to move to a more portable setup), prices are hard to find and seem all over the place, anyone have an idea on what one would be worth? It's in good working condition although has a crack/ dent in the casing (has ever since I got it ex-demo) which doesn't affect the sound or performance...
any advice appreciated!
Thanks :)

It's funny that you posted this, since I've been meaning to ask whether there are any physical modeling synths that are decent deals nowadays. (I don't suppose you're anywhere near me, in the middle of Sweden?) :-)

Physical modeling synths are probably a bit obscure for most people even here. It might be worth checking if anyone at yamahaforums can help as well. If you're looking at ebay prices, be sure to check prices of things that were actually sold. Asking prices may be a bit optimistic in many cases.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thanks Karmag - I'm in Wales in the UK so picking up from Sweden might be a bit of a trek!:)
I've posted on a yamaha synth forum and the general feel does seem to be get an estimate from ebay - found one selling for £600+ that doesn't even work!!!! Looks like around £800 so I've put it on Gumtree at that although that may be fairly hopeful... Guess I'll see if I get any offers from there.
