Product Information
The Minimoog Model D is a synthesizer that is hand-built to its
original factory specifications at the Moog factory in Asheville,
North Carolina. It is made of high-quality materials and features
identical component placement and through-hole design of the
beloved 1970s Minimoog Model D. The synthesizer is housed in a
hand-finished aluminum chassis and secured to a handcrafted
Appalachian hardwood cabinet.
Product Usage Instructions
- Download and print templates A, B, and C from the user
manual. - Cut out templates A, B, and C along the pink lines.
- Crease and fold along each blue dotted line on all 3
templates. - Starting with template A, the Model D panel, tape or glue the
tabs together to form a box. Leave the brown colored tab at the
bottom loose for the moment. - Do the same with template C which will form the body and
keyboard of your paper Model D. Keep the flap directly behind the
keyboard loose and leave this tab unattached. - You now have two constructed pieces, the panel and the body, as
well as the panel’s kick-stand (template B). - Attach the flap at the bottom of the synthesizer panel to the
loose flap behind the keyboard on the body component. This
connection will allow for the panel to hinge in alignment with the
body. - Take the kick-stand (template B) and attach it to the bottom of
the opening of the body cavity. - Now, attach the top of the kickstand to the back panel of the
synthesizer.
Once you have completed these steps, your Minimoog Model D
synthesizer is ready to use. Enjoy!

Hand-Built to Last a Lifetime
At the Moog factory in Asheville, North Carolina, every Minimoog Model D synthesizer is built by hand to its original factory specifications.
Placing the utmost importance on high-quality materials, all components are carefully sourced and crafted to capture the indescribable feeling of the original Minimoog Model D. Each unit that travels through Moog’s production floor sees identical component placement and through-hole design of the beloved 1970s Minimoog Model D in a hand-finished aluminum chassis, secured to a handcrafted Appalachian hardwood cabinet.
“This attention to detail in materials and build allows us to connect directly to the legacy and character of this legendary instrument. The Minimoog Model D is more than just a collection of circuits in a box–it’s a true musical instrument that is a joy to program and play. Bob [Moog] always recognized the importance of an instrument’s feel, and we’ve gone to great lengths to honor his practices through the re-introduction and manufacture of this beautiful synthesizer.” – Steve Dunnington, VP of Product Development at Moog Music
