Hi all-

It's refreshing that she recognized some of the shortcomings of the CM-10 and did improvements, along with replacement of aged components (can CM-10s be rescued this way?). The machine sounded stable under the load of several keys. I wonder if the absolute pitch stability is now better over time.
The headblock cable looks like it was shortened and re-attatched to the plug. A good thing, as it fixes "cable rot", but in the long run doesn't solve the problem.
I feel she has done her homework on the M400, and recognizes what maintenance mainly needs to be done. Nice.

Just saw this as a
"recommendation" so checked it out. She seems to
have a good knowledge of the instrument, but would be
interested to know what the actual experts here
think.
