Thank you.

I believe nicholas d. kent covered this. Features were actually quite limited on the D, by today's standards. The expense comes from hand-matched transistors rather than transistor array IC's, analog keyboard instead of a digital keyboard scanning mechanism, and other things very labor intensive and costly. Of course, these things all add up to the classic Mini D sound.KingVidiot wrote:Sorry for my ignorance, but what was so special about the Model D over the other MiniMoogs? Is there a cool feature timeline posted somewhere?
Why would a Model D equivalent re-issue cost more than the Old School verison right now?
This has been resolved for some time now. Moog own the rights to the Moog name in the Uk now and subsequently all Moogs are badged Moog!MC wrote:That's the UK Welsh Minimoog. Alex Winters made some of those back in the 90s. None ever shipped to the USA because at the time the infamous Don Martin held the trademark in the US before Bob re-acquired it. But UK Moog hasn't made any of those since 1996, have an iron grip on the moog trademark in the UK, and have been a major PITA for Moog Music in the UK. That is why Moog products shipped to the UK have to have the "moog" name removed on the instrument, the user manual, everything.
