I first saw a 400 in a small, private but well established recording
studio when I was living in upstate New York near the town of Woodstock I
can't pin the time down but it had to be no later than '78. ( and I can't
recall the name of the studio either but no, it wasn't Bearsville) So with
that and other connections to local music shops, etc, EML gear was getting
their name around.
Vernon Connecticut was just a stone's throw away from the Woodstock area
and a lot of well known musicians lived and recorded around there during
EML's years of operation. That includes some real heavy duty gearheads and
keyboard geeks like Todd Rungren and Garth Hudson. I'd bet they saw and
twiddled some EML gear at some point.
