The most coveted analog hardware within your reach
The Bob Moog Foundation will conclude the entry period for its spring raffle tomorrow, June 8, 2026, at 11:59 pm EST. The grand prize for this edition is an unprecedented collector's item: a brand new Minimoog Model D Tribute Edition synthesizer, bearing the coveted serial number 001. This unit, valued at 3,999 dollars, leads a production run strictly limited to 500 units worldwide, which was officially released by Moog Music on April 14.
Specifications of a historic edition
In terms of hardware, the Bob Moog Tribute Edition stands out for a chassis made of quarter-sawn white oak, a finish exclusive to this series. The back panel incorporates commemorative decals from both Moog Music and the Bob Moog Foundation. In addition, the winner will receive the instrument accompanied by an SR Series hard travel case. The analog circuitry maintains the fidelity of the original design that redefined synthesis in the seventies, being the secret weapon in the studio of electronic music legends like Gary Numan.
The first innovative Minimoog shipped in November 1970, and its lineage has endured. We are excited to offer serial number one of the Bob Moog Tribute Edition as we celebrate Bob Moog's indelible impact on music and synthesis.
— Michelle Moog-Koussa, Executive Director of The Bob Moog Foundation

Funding for sound preservation
The funds raised through the sale of tickets, with prices ranging from 25 dollars for a single entry to 500 dollars for a pack of 35, will be entirely allocated to educational and conservation initiatives. Among the projects benefited is the Dr. Bob's SoundSchool program, which has already introduced more than 40,000 students to the science of sound, as well as the maintenance of the Moogseum in Asheville, North Carolina, and the foundation's extensive historical archives, which house more than 5,000 photographs and 3,000 technical schematics of analog hardware.
The impact on the producer community
The availability of an instrument with serial number 001 represents a milestone in the analog hardware market. For producers and sound design purists, owning the first unit of such a limited reissue transcends mere studio functionality; it is about safeguarding a tangible piece of electronic music history. The international anticipation generated confirms that the legacy of the Model D remains an unattainable standard in the synthesizer design industry.
