Say Hello To Behringer Model D Synth With Keyboard

What happens when you add a wooden casing and a keyboard to a Behringer Model D? Easy. It looks like an even more awesome analog synthesizer in the style of a Minimoog!

It's often the way. Those with handy woodcrafting skills can create wonderous enclosures, stands and mods for their beloved synthesizers.

In this instance, we're looking at a modern analog synth classic, the clone of the Moog Minimoog. Yes, we're talking about the Behringer Model D. If its authentic sound has wowed you, then you may be tempted to make it into even more of a Minimoog clone than it already is like Bucranium Beats have done.

Two simple mods that took him a week of crafting have made this look even cooler. The Behringer synthesizer now has a wooden DIY-Model D stand with a two octave keyboard taken from a Midiman Oxygen 8. Neat!

We don't know what the materials would have cost Bucranium Beats, but would be very surprised if it's more than $50-100. Add that to the $299 price of the Behringer Model D and you have a ridiculously affordable mini... Minimoog that will be the talk of any studio.
