That's a bummer, but you do what you must! It had come up in a conversation with some of my music friends, so I was wondering again.
I still have this dream that as my band continues to grow, I'll be that guy who tours all the heavy pieces of furniture. My A-100, my Conn 432, my Rhodes, and I'm hoping some day a MkII. No clue how I'm going to attain THAT one. I figured if the M5000 was coming about maybe I'd spring for that instead down the line a way.
Or, as long as I'm talking pipe dreams maybe I'll buy two M4000s from you, rip the guts out of the cabinets and hire a top-rank cabinetry guy to build a cabinet as close to a MkII as can be! Have plastics makers fashion the controls the same. That would be something!
Frank, great to hear things are on the up for you! Last time we talked it was sounding a whole lot more dire.
