It may have been Martin who said this, or perhaps Gordon Reid, but the M4000 truly make the Mellotron as viable as touring or recording instrument.
It is beautifully made and should be reliable as hell. Most importantly for those in the music industry and especially for me, it's nearly idiot proof.

Now that John and Martin have returned from their vacations, I wanted to let you all know that I received my M4000 last Wednesday and it was well worth the wait. The is a Mellotron beyond all others. Quite simply, everything else pales in comparison. The craftsmanship is second to none and it just fucking cool!Here is my tape set and some photos. I am gloriously happy. It is a box full of genius.FrankM4000 #16
