For those of you who own an M400-type Tron (M400, Mark V, etc), which 3 Violin sound do you prefer and why?

  • MkII 3 Violins
  • M400 3 Violins

I have the MkII 3 Violins, which I like very much, but I'm considering getting a copy of the original frame that came with my M400: MkII Flute/M400 3 Violins/Cello, although I'll probably have to dispense of one or two frames to do this.

Another question: Have any of you MkI/MkII owners ever used the M400 3 Violins on your Tron? I'm just curious about how they sound with the low impedance(?) heads.

And don't forget the Sad Strings, which are not only very lovely but fully in tune!
