Prototype: The Artisan Teabox
It’s no secret that I’ve always loved the way that Moog synthesizers and effects are not only wonderful sounding, but that they are also beautiful objects to look at. In some ways they are like alluring pieces of furniture.
For the last 5 years I’ve been wishing for a Teabox that embodied the craftsmanship of fine furniture or cabinet making. Now we’re finally going to do it! The pictures here are from the first rough prototype.
The new chassis is a hand crafted, heirloom quality, cherry box with classic dovetail joinery. We’re using a traditional hand-rubbed finish on the wood. The photos shown use our classic polished aluminum front and back plates, but we also have another version that employs a front and back made from hard maple.
