"Incredibly cool piece of RARE vintage analog goodness. This is a pretty-much-mint condition 1970 Brother Auto Emillion GX-151 Synthesizer/Organ.

Before it was the Baldwin Discoverer DS-50, it was the Brother Auto-Emillion GX-151, manufactured by the Japanese printer company, who later sold the rights to Baldwin.

Made by Brother Industries, Nagoya Japan, and sold in the US under the name Baldwin Discoverer. Which was a favorite of Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys, and later Radiohead, Gorillaz, Beck, Haley Williams - Tiny Desk NPR, etc...

This one’s definitely for the collector, but could also be a fully functioning addition to the keys collection of any recording studio looking for those extremely rare, cool retro vibes.

This analog synth/organ has a number of great preset sounds, as well as the potential to create your own sounds combining different sound voices.

This machine has the ability to record user-created arpeggiated or chord sequences, and this function works perfectly. One saved sequence can be stored on a microchip which is working perfectly, even after powering off. It is also one finger or live automated if desired. Similar to a Suzuki Omnichord, but with a synth/keyboard.

There is a Mic input which can be volume controlled on the interface, expression pedal input, Line out, and Line in, Input jack for DC 12V.

There's a great built-in analog drum machine, with great preset rhythms, reminiscent of the Roland CR-78, and two different rhythms can be played at once, creating nice new combinations.

This is a great sounding machine with tons of character.

Again, it is in collector condition. Comes with the original Instruction Manual, the two original music stands, and complete with the original dark grey Brother carry bag.

Minus one tiny scratch on the left end piece. Every function, knob, and slider is in working condition. It’s been in storage for a few years, so some of the pots are scratchy, could use some canned air or contact cleaner. All in all, it’s in fantastic shape.

Purchased in Ireland, Comes with the original European 250v Brother A/C adapter. I’ll include the after market 12v USA adaptor pictured."

Baldwin DS-50 Discoverer 49-Key Synthesizer SN BC2802487

"The Japanese Baldwin Discoverer DS-50 came out in mid/late 70s (pre-MIDI) and features control over the synth sounds plus a built in drum machine. All original knobs are present. Every single function tested and works excellent as intended, this includes every single key. And all keys are level and have a good almost weighted feel to them.

The auto-accompany can be turned on or off and split at the keyboard (rhythm vs melody). There's a built in speaker but it can be bypassed using the audio outs. This makes it easy to implement in your home studio.

They really built instruments to last in the 70s. The DS-50 is made of metal and really well constructed. Original power cord is included. Also included is the hard to find original owners manual as well as the detachable music rack and original travel case."

"In great physical shape, includes original power cord and music sheet stand.


“Volume” and “Mic” pots are a little scratchy but overall everything sounds great and appears totally functional except for the following which I’m unable to test —


~ “Program Record” section (can’t find a manual online and can’t figure how to use this)

~ “EXP.” input (don’t have an expression pedal to test this)

~ “DC12V input (not aware of the function of this additional power input.. maybe it is utilized for the “Program Record” section???)


LOCAL PICKUP ONLY — located near the Salt Lake City / Northern Utah area"

"It came out in mid/late 70s (pre-MIDI) and features some control over the synth sounds plus a built in drum machine. It is missing one of the knobs. The auto-accompany can be turned on or off and split at the keyboard (rhythm vs melody). There's a built in speaker but it can be bypassed using the audio outs.

Published on May 23, 2015 jonzaremba

"Put together this video for my song "Salt Wells" from the album ROZEL...mainly to demonstrate the great Baldwin Discoverer (DS-50) organ. The entire song was made with this organ (all the drums, chords, melody, etc...) with the exception of a Korg M500 for a couple of the synth parts. Everything was sampled and arranged with a Yamaha A3000, then recorded live. No multitracking or VST stuff."

If you want to hear how it sounds, here's a song i made from my last album using the DS-50 almost exclusively. It's sampled and processed with some outboard equipment, but you'll get an idea of the cool tones possible here."

"This is the all-collectible Baldwin Discoverer Synthesizer 1978. It can produce Harpsichord, Marimba and Vibes sounds in addition to a series of sliders that allow the user to produce a �Solo� sound by adjusting Flute 8, Flute 4, Oboe, Violin, and Vibrato sliders. Awesome beats that sound huge when amplified and has built-in recording capability for polyphonic stuff. The back of this item houses ports for headphones, amplifiers, and microphone. This keyboard is in good condition with some surface scratching consistent with age and general use. Full functioning- one missing key but still works. just selling bc not using it very much lately. Needs AC/DC plug to power. Both internal speaker and output for amp."
