Here are the top ten reasons Moog raised the price by 50% on the Etherwave Pro:
10. To pay Michael Jordan for the upcoming "Air Jordan" theremin commercials.
9. Development costs for a new, all electronic, glass harmonica.
8. Costs of wood have soared due to California forrest fires.
7. Bob Moog goes to Hedonism II. Woo-Hoo!
6. Needed to pay for construction of the plant that will make the 90mm VLSIC chips that are used in the Pro to save costs of making complex circuit boards and the labor of hand wiring. Hmmmmmm....
5. The copper coil winder went out of control! Look out!!!
4. Pro now includes an iPod adapter and Moog Music had to pay royalties to Apple Computer.
3. None of the money goes to Moog. George Bush increased taxes on all theremins to help pay for enormous budget deficit.
2. Covers cost of changing money from U.S. dollars to safer and more stable Mexican Pesos.
