Hi all-
I just recieved my new tapframe & tapes from
Streetly. Thanks Martin & company, I am very pleased
with this!
The new frame is laced with- A)Watcher Mix,
B)Russian Choir, C)St.Johns Wood Church Organ. Great
sounds! Watcher Mix by itself has a lonely, haunting
quality, and should make a good background sound.
Russian Choir is amazing, and has the rare quality of
sounding useful speeded up or slowed down. The organ
is unexpectedly beautiful and powerful(It even makes
MY playing sound good). The choir mixes well with
both sounds. It should be mentioned that mixing
between the tracks has almost no drop in sound level
or timbre. All attacks seem to be lined up(thanks
Martin). Very nice!
I also recieved another set of tapes(no frame)-
A)Angry Strings, B)French Horn, C)Chamber Woodwinds.
This will replace a very worn set on a frame I bought
6 months ago. Some lacing needs to be done(oboy).
Will advise everyone on the results.
Got a belt and 2 headblock rollers, too. Believe
it or not, my 'tron was missing a roller when I got it
a year ago (how do you lose one of those?!). After
some electronic noise, headscratching, and advice from
our intrepid group, I fashioned a roller from nylon
parts found at Ace Hardware. However, I got the right
stuff now.
Oh yeah, the new turnbuckles on the frame are
great! Thought I'd better get that in. ;-)
Thanks again to the gang at Streetly!
