hmmmm, something fishy is going on.

Moog put up a 3rd clue today... then took it down, along with our original forum thread about it.

maybe somebody over at moog spoke too soon, or could this be one of the biggest hype-jobs ever!? Either way, it's working :)

I posted the text of the clue, but it was probably not ready for release. There was a weird sentece that was obviously not finished.

But if you are clever about URLs and care to sleuth it out, the final clue reveals all.

3 octaves, 1 knob

definitely a source based synth.

probably go for $2000

and be of high quality.


i could be wrong though. i hope i'm wrong about the price!

What is that in the background on the black thing? Looks like a 9v battery..or a some sort of lightbulb.

Also, there's another piece of wood back there that is a different shape.

....any guesses?

ok, so now that we know its a synth......i should probably call up my credit card company and put in an application for a higher credit line on my credit card....but how much higher?
