Subject: Re: [Mellotronists] M400 3 Violin Tuning

Low "F" is the real clanker on 3V. All I can say is, I got the "tuned"
tapes for the Mark V, and they are an utter delight to play. They still
have character and individuality, but you don't have to be so careful about
voicings with them. Also, on a previous thread, the Mk II 3V is the ONLY
way to go if you want that creamy sound, the M400 violins are very cutting
in comparison.
