The original Moog Taurus of the mid-1970s was a foot pedal-controlled analog synth with 13 foot keys and a five octave range, though it was primarily used for bass work. The Taurus was originally intended as a bass complement to the Apollo and Lyra keyboard synths in an ensemble set-up referred to as the Constellation. 

Two later versions of the Taurus were released, the unpopular and short-lived Taurus II (basically a foot-controlled Moog Rogue) which ended production after a two year run in 1983, and the Taurus III reincarnation of the original (only 1000 specimens made). 

*Pricing of Taurus models is highly dependent on condition and inclusion of foot pedals and accessories. 

Years of Production: 1981 - 1983
