Moog Minimoog Synthesizer Autographed by Bob Moog

via this auction

"This is a beautiful 1974 Moog Minimoog synthesizer (serial# 6572) that was autographed by Bob Moog.

At the 2000 NAMM show I brought the top wood trim of this instrument to the Big Briar booth, where I met Dr. Moog and asked him to sign it. He was very gracious and broke into a big grin when he saw it, as of course he recognized right away what it was. In fact, he held it up for others to see, taking a bit of delight, I'm sure, in asking who else knew what this little wooden stick was! Since that day I have always treated this instrument as a reminder of the moment I got to meet the late, great grandfather of synthesizers and have cherished his signature on it as a direct link between his hands and the legendary instrument he created. Of all the Minis out there, how many have that distinction?...

This Mini has the later ua726 containing VCO board installed. I don't want to open a debate about which generation of oscillators sound "best" but I will say that the VCOs track rock solid compared to other Minis I've played. When I detune the VCOs to get just the right fat spread I want, this is maintained up and down the keyboard and across the footages. Solid. But then again, never can I get them to perfectly line up and cancel each other out...that's the organic beauty of these oscillators, and why this instrument sounds so alive. Speaking of alive, the VCOs sound raw and huge. End of story."
