Eko Stradivarius (c.a 1974)
Italian analog String processor


A quite rare String processor from Italy similar to famous Solina synthesizer with classic vintage 70 ' sounds.

The name is of course derived from the genius Italian violins crafter ANTONIO STRADIVARI.

midi MAINTENANCE two main common issues:
- slider sometimes may need to be lubricated for smooth movements.

REVIEW "A standard string processor like many from this era, maybe a cheap alternative to Solina."
