The Eminent 310 Unique is a home electronic organ that was built and introduced in 1972 by the Dutch organ manufacturer Eminent Orgelbouw B.V.[1] in Lelystad, the Netherlands. It was the first organ to include a string section, making it the first commercial polyphonic string synthesizer on the market.[2] The technology for the string section was later licenced to ARP, who released the ARP String Ensemble, which saw wide use in popular music.
