This Yamaha GX-1 was revolutionary in 1973, selling for $60,000 (roughly $425,000 in 2025 dollars). Only 100 units were ever built, making it one of the rarest polyphonic synthesizers in history. With a total weight of 951 kg (2,096 lb) including console, pedalboard, stand, and optional speakers, the GX-1 required its own truck just to move! Legendary artists like Keith Emerson, Stevie Wonder, and John Paul Jones used it on stage and in the studio, cementing its legacy.
- 8-voice polyphony (2 voices per manual + bass pedal voice)
- Four independent keyboards + pedalboard
- Analog subtractive synthesis with onboard tube-driven speakers
- Unique split-keyboard architecture for live performance
- True birthplace of modern polysynth sound design
