Hi Martin,

Do you mean an M400? I thought Woolly had a Mark II before the M300 in the late 1960's. They initially hired it then bought it for next to nothing. I think it was used in the early singles and perhaps the first album. This was the tron that got pushed down at flight of stairs allegedly.

I've missed this thread but Woolly never had custom tapes in any of his MKIIs or M300s. Custom tapes were never available for these instruments until we started recording them about 12 years ago. Woolly did have a MKII mid 70s which he used but not extensively and only for one album, maybe X1.

Thanks Bernie.
I'm pretty sure I hear mk2 brass. As we know, Woolly had a great relationship with Streetly, so maybe he did have custom tapes made. Martin?

The M300 keyboard is "split", but as far as I know, you can't simultaneously have strings and brass without custom tapes.
