Hi, congratulations, Pete. My Mark VI (#048) just arrived yesterday, so I can understand how do you feel :). Mine is white with String section, flutes (oh my god! how does this sounds) and violins.

Congratulations, Nacho.  Do you have the Chamberlin Flutes or the 
Mellotron Flutes?  White is good.  Brown is not!  #048.... That is a 
good number of new ones!  Have fun.

Thanks Clay. I must say that white was chosen as the color for the
machine 'cause I really wanted that genuine 70's look (hey, and it was
cheaper too :D). It's loaded with Mellotron flutes, (at least that's
what I think, I prefer vastly the mellotron sounds to the chamberlin
sounds, but believe me, Im NOT expert in any case in those sounds). I
want to make mention here to the wonderful work of Markus. He is also a
very patient and kind person, in my honest opinion.

Nacho.
