SYNTH GEMS 1

SYNTH GEMS 1 is a guide to an eclectic and amazing collection of synthesizers: over 60 remarkable keyboards ranging from classics that define entire genres to rare oddities that bring their own grace to the world. Besides a brief introduction to the basic elements of synthesizer design, as well as a comprehensive Glossary, the book is rounded out by tours of the three museums that opened their collections to be photographed, and a selection of resources for further study: books, films, educational initiatives, and online resources.
