Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] J-Tron

I had the pleasure of meeting Justin a few years back (prior to getting my MkII) and playing the J-Tron, as well as his own MkII.  The low profile housing is elegant, as you can see, the action is light, and the sound is POWERFUL, especially his recordings of wind instruments.  He's changed the control panels again, so I don't know what knob controls what function.  The price was $8K back then; don't know what the present day price is.

Wow! What a gorgeous instrument. I never saw the finished product before.

Wonder what it plays like? Judging by the job he did on the mechanics, I would venture to guess very nicely indeed.

Anyone here seen it or (better yet) played it?
