It's certainly more responsive than a 400. Martinge's lovely old Mk1
can be played like a Hammond, the key weighting is so light. I think
the geometry is different. The Tronbros can enlighten us I'm sure.
I must say I'm underwhelmed by the lack of response from you lot in
purchasing the Sundae Club album which features just that very machine
as well as our own 400. Bernie's bought it, so has Jimmy. (Thanks
guys!!) Maybe they can give an honest appraisal of it and either
recommend it to you or warn you to steer clear and buy a very long
barge-pole. On the other hand, you could click on one of the numerous
links below and take a listen. It's selling rather well, but ironically
not to the people on this forum!!
