So back when I was a high school graduate I worked for Moog and built a lot of the modules for the modular systems during their reissue. The amount of work put into those really justifies the price. The whole thing is built by hand. Every resistor and wire is hand soldered. I built a system 55 and that took me a solid week to harness up. It was a challenge but a lot of fun!

100% with you on that. Synclavier was the first thing I thought of, too, along with Fairlight. I always think about the Synclavier when I drive up to Stowe, Vermont, because New England Digital was right at the point where I-91 and I-89 meet in White River Junction, Vermont. Back in the '80s, when Michael Jackson was doing his "Bad" tour, his keyboard players (Greg Phillinganes, Rory Kaplan, and Chris Currell, incredible talents all) did a clinic at a local music store when the tour came to Hartford. Although their main gear at the clinic was Akai, they all talked about the three Synclaviers that they were using in the tour. Something like $750,000 worth of gear, and that's just the Synclaviers! IIFC, Chris Currell used the SynthAxe to control one of the Synclaviers on a time-share basis. In those days, I would have gladly committed murder to get my hands on one. These days, you barely have lay out any cash at all to have a respectable recording rig.

There are other synths that are probably more expensive, but they are so rare that they hardly come up for sale so prices are hard to find. For example, Yamaha GX-1, EMS Synthi 100, and a complete Roland System 700.

The “Switched-on Bach” record was a sight to see. My mom had that when I was a kid. I imagine the big reason for high cost is because these synths and their components are becoming more irreplaceable. Plus their innards are so uniquely designed and complex. It would be nice to see a video on the 10 oldest synths. Thanks Claudio.

One that came to mind when I saw the title was the Knifonium. It used to sell for around $15k, but I imagine the maker has raised the price somewhat since its first release.
