Mellotronists

Hi All

M4000? Instant classic, by the looks of things. Are there any M5000s in the 
pipeline yet? Also, I noticed the reversed colour keyboard on the prototype 
in Norm's pics. Is this an option on M4000s generally?

Actually, where do you get the keycaps from? 'Harga's House of Harpsichord 
Hardware' ?
Since getting (very) into Vox Continentals I've become somewhat enamoured of 
reverse keys.

Yours,

MSW
