Wow, never heard that story about the Teleharmonium...! Very cool...! Certainly takes some of the wind out of the sails of Bob Moog's contribution somewhat.

For another interesting contribution to electronic music - check out the Optigan - a keyboard sold by Mattel that played back samples off of optical discs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optigan

Yeah, well, that's popcul for you, till you encounter something that puts it all in perspective. And, no, I wouldn't necessarily consider the optigan a toy. It was definitely aimed at an amateur market. It certainly wasn't a seminal device, which means something that is aimed at composition.
