I came across a pic last night on theirweb site (is this the same pic as on the album?) of the Strawbs live at Drury Lane in 76with the 2 keyboard setups. On the right there is definitely a MKV. It has thecorrect profile. The only pic I have of the wakeman double tron has more of anM400 profile at the top with a squared off lower section and not the sharplyangled lower section the MkV has.
Cheers

Hi all,
I had good fortune to spend a few minutes talking to DaveCousins and John Hawken last night prior to a gig and I asked about the trons.Dave said they had the 2 M400’s painted black during most of the mid70’s (one of which I have) but then said they also had one of the bigtwin manuals one’s as well. John nodded and said “oh yes that wasthe really heavy one”. I asked if it was a MkV and Dave yes he thoughtso. This was a bit of a surprise but unfortunately I didn’t get the chanceto ask any more. Does anyone know if they did have a Mk V or MkII? If they didwhen did they use it? John is using the Pinder samples on stage but he blendsthem with something else.
Cheers
John
