rare birds: Elex K2 (Hohner StringVox K2) / Italian string and piano synthesizer

Here is a quick demo of a quite rare Elex K2 stringmachine I serviced. It was also branded as the Hohner StringVox K2 and Hohner String Orchestra 2. From what I reckoned it is very similar in sound and design to the Elka Rhapsody 610 but with added features. You get splitable left and right part with Piano / Harpsichord / Cello / Violin preset assignable on either part, each wich its dedicated on/off switch and volume fader, individual sustain faders for both Cello and Violin. Sustain on piano and harpsichord is done by a foot pedal. You further get a bass sound on the left part of the keyboard, and 3 different combination modes: full keyboard: right hand presets are use for the whole keyboard split keyboard: left and right hand have their own sounds ensemble: this one is interesting and I start the video with that one. You get all the 4 octaves of the strings sounds on the left hand, and only piano/harpsichord on the right one. It sounds massive and you can still mix the 4 string footages. All in all a very nice string machine. Recorded straight to the soundcard with no fx or treatment.
