One of the trons here has the flute/8voice/3violins tapes installed backwards. By accident of course. But it sounds excellent. Unique, in a really nice way.
By the way, M4000D #666 arrived today. What an incredible instrument. Beautiful to play, look at, and listen too. It sounds like my best tape tron, on a really good day.....every time I turn it on. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Markus, if you are hanging around here, thanks again for a spectacular achievement.

Just don't forget to make sure any steel, metal rods etc. are not magnetic.
