Subject: RE: [newmellotrongroup] M400S on e-Bay

There's a CMC10 in there too. Bet that's fun. The price doesn't seem too outrageous though.

By the way..Would any of our British chums like to swap an M400 in need of TLC for a slightly tatty split '62 Hammond C3?

I'm feeling the need for 2 M400s and have too many organs- so I'm thinking the previously unthinkable..

Besides, 2 M400s together are a much more giggable proposition than any 2-manual Mellotron and I can't afford a Mk5.

Love and Scones,

Some people might say that tuning a Mellotron has the same result.
