It's certainly more responsive than a 400. Martinge's lovely old Mk1 
can be played like a Hammond, the key weighting is so light. I think 
the geometry is different. The Tronbros can enlighten us I'm sure.

I must say I'm underwhelmed by the lack of response from you lot in 
purchasing the Sundae Club album which features just that very machine 
as well as our own 400. Bernie's bought it, so has Jimmy. (Thanks 
guys!!) Maybe they can give an honest appraisal of it and either 
recommend it to you or warn you to steer clear and buy a very long 
barge-pole. On the other hand, you could click on one of the numerous 
links below and take a listen. It's selling rather well, but ironically 
not to the people on this forum!!

There's a free full-length mp3 here:

None of your G-Media bollocks used in the creation of this album. We're 
not the Real Tuesday Weld you know!!

Toodle Pip!!
