Original model with 27 chord types. Works good. No scratchy knobs. All buttons, knobs, strumplate, speaker and output jack work. Tested (on 8 "C" batteries and AC adapter). Plastic around battery compartment door is warped making it difficult to insert/remove batteries and align/close/open the battery door. Top plastic, knobs and buttons are yellowed. And there is a cut in the plastic near the battery door hole. Inside is super clean. No sign of battery leakage. The battery door still has some original, crumbly foam. The black, battery-pulling ribbon is still intact. See pictures.

I will include a compatible AC adapter for USA/Canada buyers only. For a limited time, I will include a Suzuki OVP-2 vinyl carrying bag. Batteries not included.

This electronic autoharp was the first Omnichord model (from 1981) and is the simplest. It features 27 chords (9 keys x 3 variations (major, minor, minor 7th (eg. C7)). Unlike subsequent models, if you press more than one button button in a key, you don't get other variations. You can combine rhythms by pressing two rhythm buttons at the same time, however.

Daniel Lanois used an Omnichord on many productions including U2's The Joshua Tree (1987) album. "Love Is a Stranger" (1983) by Eurythmics features chords and Sonic Strings from the Omnichord OM-27.
