I wonder if this thing comes with the legendary "lost yodeling tracks"? Apparently only three of these tape set were made all for export to Austria in the early '70s. All were used in Heurigen owned by a company called Der Lustiger Jodler (The Happy Yodeler). They apparently used the mellotrons to entertain tourists in placing like Grinzing in the Vienna Woods.

Martinge says he has no evidence what happened to the masters of these tapes, but they'd be worth getting your hands on a set, it seems to me.

It is my understanding that one of these tape sets ended up in the Festhaus at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Fla.

I think T Banks did the Selling England watcher intro
with the M400- brass and 3violins mixed and the
hammond on the right hand. He did the Foxtrot tour
with MKII accordian /brass/3 violins. Love the m400
especially if you need to move it once in a while
