Junost-21 USSR Vintage Soviet Keytar Synthesizer
This is a Soviet ЮНOCTЬ 21 (Junost-21) keytar synthesizer made in the early 1980s when an attempt to catch up with Western-style electronic instruments was in full swing. As far as the Junost-21 goes, the musician can chose from a manual mode or three Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) configurations. Each of the three has four filters and envelope settings. Settings on the grip include volume, chorus, and tuning controls. In case there exists any doubt of its authenticity, a potential-buyer will soon discover that all text on the instrument is indeed in Russian. It weighs around 6.5kg (~14 lbs), and is completely functional with a power knob missing.
