Mellotronists

Hi fellow Tronsters,

Yesterday I received two new sets of EMI tapes on new frames 
from Streetly Electronics: MKII Violin/MKII Brass/Ian McDonald Flute 
and Les Bradley Orchestra/Gothic/Russian Choir, and I just wanted to 
rave about them. The sound quality of the older sounds is still as 
good as ever and the new sounds are exceptional. 

Tapes don't last forever. If you've never replaced your original 
tapes or you purchased a used Tron within the last few years and 
don't know how old the tapes are that came with it, you have no idea 
how good your Tron can sound or how much better it will play. Mine 
play like new machines (I bought #500 new) and I haven't even 
adjusted the keyboards yet to account for the thicker tapes (yes, as 
they wear, they get thinner, lose oxide and lose sound).

The EMI tape upgrade that Martin and John are offering is a great 
deal and I highly recommend you take advantage of it. If you're as 
lazy as I am, get yourself a set on one of the new frames they just 
made. Give yourself and your loved one a nice Christmas/holiday 
present (OK, then get her something nice, too).
