About this model
A performance synth popular with gigging keyboard players. The 61-key Juno-DS61 is the common one; the 76- and 88-key versions sell higher.
It is digital, so there is nothing analogue to drift. Check every key, the pitch and mod lever, and the outputs.
What to check before you buy
- Every key including velocity
- Every knob / slider / encoder
- Screen backlight and contrast
- Internal battery for patches (older synths - "battery low" on boot)
- MIDI / USB / audio outs

Questions people ask about this model
Who buys a used Juno-DS?
Gigging keyboard players, churches and covers bands. It is light, loud and simple, so it sells steadily all year.
What should I check on a used Juno-DS?
Every key, the pitch and mod lever, every button, and the phones and main outputs. Ask whether the power supply and a sustain pedal come with it.
Do the 76- and 88-key versions sell higher?
Yes. This range is for the common 61-key model. Check the key count before you price one.
Selling one on
Real synths (Korg, Roland, Moog, Novation, Arturia, Nord) sell very fast. Home arranger keyboards (Yamaha PSR, Casio CT) are slow and low-margin unless free.
Boxable up to 61 keys; 76/88 key units are collection or expensive courier.
Where this price comes from
This is the range the flipper extension uses for a used Roland Juno-DS in working order in the UK. It is a starting point, not a quote: condition, extras, the original box and where you are all move the price, and faulty ones sell for much less.
The condition bands above are the same multipliers the extension applies to a listing. On a live Marketplace listing, flipper checks that range against real sold prices and live eBay listings for the exact model, works out your profit after fees and flags faults the seller mentions. It is free while in testing. Join the testers.
