Why the massive keys?

They could have put a 3 octave normal keyboard in the same space

They are testing it with their hands, but you play it with your feet, like the pedals on an organ.

I can't wait to get my feet on one!

lol, guy at 1:51 in Moog sweater looks like he just was teleported into the studio, trying to figure out where he is.

Too bad they're only making 1000 of them. At $2000USD each, I think only major acts and studios will be getting ones. While they're great for studio stuff, just look at it; the Taurus was made to be used live. I've dreamed about having one of these since I heard Led Zeppelin & Yngwie Malmsteen use one.

They should really consider making a dumbed-down version that sells for around or under $300. Or license a 'budget model' to someone like EHX.

You can tell how rad the Moog company is by seeing those psyched-up expressions on these guys' faces.

Fantastic Synthesizer.Like the Old one with some New features.

Tried it at the Namm 2010 fair.

Tried it on the Namm 2010 Fair.

Taurus is back for Sure.

It has the same power as the Original.

Get one while you can:)

This is a total beast!

After the poor imitation of the Taurus II, the bass is back!

[ChrisSpazz]

little phatty with oversized keys?

[Chavvvvvvv]

Pretty big keys for my fingers :-)

I can't wait to get all of the debris from the explosions it will cause on it!
