Our philosophy at Synthesizer Service

We are synthesizer freaks, so we are at home in any kind of analogue or digital synthesizer or sampler. Our specialities are service, repair, restoration and own developments for many vintage synthesizers (upgrades, modifications, MIDI interfaces, sounds and documents).

Our main competence is the service and maintenance of equipment by Fairlight, PPG, OSC and Elka Synthex.

Our success is based on five pillars

  • Technical expertise

    For the successful and economical repair of music electronics the technical expertise is extremely important. We are specialized in high end systems like PPG, Fairlight, Rhodes Chroma or Elka Synthex, exotic stuff like OSC OSCar, and of course any other analogue or digital synthesizer built in the recent 35 years.

    We have testings systems by PPG, Synthex, Rhodes Chroma and Fairlight equipment in our service department. Therefore you only have to send the defective card, not the whole PPG Wave, Synthex synthesizer or CMI mainframe. Because you will send just a tiny card you can save a lots of money. We are going to put your defective card into our testing units and do a very fast and cost effective job!
