Talk:Moog Music

Discrepancy in date for purchase by Norlin Musical Instruments
The introductory text indicates 1971 for the date Moog Music Inc was sold to Norlin Musical Instruments, but later in the article the date is 1973. Which one is the correct date? There are no references provided in both cases. Thanks -- Lordsatri (talk) 15:25, 10 October 2021 (UTC)


 * If I recall correctly, 1973 would have been the earliest possible date. Although I didn't start working there until mid-1976, I'm pretty sure it was Norlin that moved the Moog operations to Cheektowaga, NY (not actually Buffalo) and expanded the factory to make room for Moog to develop and build non-synthesizer music electronics such as the (amazing) Syn Amp, Maestro effects pedals, RD-77 'active' guitar electronics for Gibson and some other projects that may not have reached production.ElectroNautical (talk) 22:57, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Moog Guitar
someone find out about this kick ass instrument —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.186.64.155 (talk) 01:20, 14 August 2008 (UTC)


 * As an employee of Moog Music Inc. (Norlin Music) from late 1976 through early 1979 and as Moog geek ever since, I have never heard of anything referred to as a 'Moog Guitar', but perhaps this refers to the Norlin/Gibson "Artist" RD-77 guitars and basses using active electronics designed by Bob Moog himself around the time the company relocated to 2525 Walden Ave. in Cheektowaga, NY. I learned later from another Moog employee (Don Besecker IIRC) that the RD-77 compression/expansion feature might have been the last project Bob worked on before his contractual obligation to Norlin was completed.

Incorrect Info
This from Moogs website says that the little fatty was not designed by moog himself and was introduced after his passing. Directly in contrast to this WP page.

"The Little Phatty was released in 2006 as a tribute to the life and legacy of Moog Music founder and synthesizer pioneer, Bob Moog. Following the passing of Dr. Moog, The Little Phatty was the first Moog synthesizer designed by Moog Music's Chief Engineer, Cyril Lance."

Bankruptcy 1987
I'm surprised there's no mention of Gibson guitars, which were also a Norlin brand until 1986, when they were bought out. Surely there's some connection here? --BjKa (talk) 13:23, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Missing important current news
Moog sold out to In Music. This could potentially be the fall of this company. 2600:8800:2396:5D00:2DBE:D68E:ABA9:86EB (talk) 21:56, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
