Guys. I just read the SOS review about the Moog OS and they are telling that the MOOG chassis is manufactured with a wood faking Laminate :
“Looking closely you`ll see that the panel is actually a printed laminate affair similar to those seen on Dave Smith´s recent instruments”
SOS/ dec 2008
I thought the Moog is true analog , the material too ?
PS: and please don´t try to argue that Laminate is much better because of it´s stiffness and so … 
I just hate fake stuff !
I don’t believe that.
Are you sure they are not referring to the PANEL and not the wood cabinetry?
I mean why get to choose a wood cabinet just for it to be fake wood.
I don’t buy it.
Oh maybe you are right, but I guess a “printed laminate” would be translated -in German- as “Fake Wood” . I do hope I am wrong !!
Maybe a MOOG guy can clear hings up here ?
from the moog website:
.The MINIMOOG® VOYAGER® OS has a hinged, multi-position panel and a solid hardwood cabinet.
the laminate refers to the panel i believe, not the wood. the advertisement says a solid hardwood cabinet.

PUHHH… thanks a lot 
, sorry for my bad translation
now I can sleep well
bye
APOLOGIZE , Moog People
I know this thread can cause bad rumours , please just delete it.
Panel means panel.
haha, i cant speak other languages, so i respect those that can. english isnt easy even for people that speak it every day. how many arguments have happened on messageboards because somebody misread/misunderstood somebody’s intentions.
ahhhh, I just cut into the side to see if it was real. Stupid people posting nonsense! LOL
You just cut into your Voyager???
WHY!?
DSI instruments are “Fake wood”?
Sorry, but that is nonsense. My Prophet '08 has slabs of real lumber at the side. I buy wood every day for a living, and this is real wood. Not a bad pair of pieces either.
I didn’t see this posted here on this thread. I have seen a Prophet 08 up close, and that is some very nice wood they use. They do use a laminate on the front panel, though.
Oops, I misread that. You’re right… they were referring to the front panel and I interpreted it to mean the end cheeks. 
The word “panel” sure does cause a lot of confusion. I find it rather amusing, myself. 
Read the thread from start to finish, and you’ll see what I mean.
