Several reports have confirmed steep layoffs this week at Moog Music's Asheville, NC headquarters, shortly following an acquisition by InMusic (parent of Akai, Numark, Alesis, and others). Even in a tough year, these cuts are uniquely significant, as they strike at the brand story of the single best-known name in synths.
I’m still waiting for the opportunity to strike where I can get a Grandmother. Especially in light of the buyout. Get the good stuff while it’s possible to. Cherish it and build a good relationship with a repair shop.
For sure, the OG models are only going to appreciate in value from now on. Even before this news there were some pieces I just couldn’t seem to find at a reasonable price (really wanted a pair of MF Drive but like everything Moog they’re insanely expensive, and no opportunity to try before buy so a pricey experiment)
