Hi, all-
I looked at this ad. The seller was asked if the
'tron could be shipped to Europe. The reply indicated
that the seller had no flight case, and the bidder had
to make other arrangements for overseas shipping. I
thought all the new ones included a flight case.
Makes you wonder. How can you lose a flight case?

They didn't include a flight case in the pricing back in 1999. Most
were probably delivered with a case. Brownsville Texas ? Does anyone
know this seller?

the description says,

"I've recorded with the computer model version of this (GForce's MTRON) and
the difference in sound quality is HUGE...The real Mellotron trumps the
MTRON by far and has a huge advantage in audio bandwith (tube preamp!) over
the digitally modeled version"

would you agree to this? disagree? I would have thought that a 1:1 sample of
each note (as in MTron) can't be substantially worse than the original.

It depends on the condition of the Tron the samples came from. The
Trons that the original M-Tron samples came from most likely weren't
in the best condition. Even under ideal conditions, samples can
never match the real thing.
