Stop getting so emotional!  We aren't concerned about the name or  the 
product.  Truly.  We build mellotrons and have no intention of  entering the 
digital keyboard market, iPad excluded.  We don't malign  competition. Therin 
lies the difference.

Matthias,  the ownership of the much celebrated, often emulated but never 
copied  Mellotron trademark has never, ever had a bearing on anything.  Most  
people remember Streetly first.  And it cost nothing to get and costs  
nothing to uphold.

I thought  the US$500.00 increase was royalty payments to the UK for use of 
the  name.

Cock  up on the abacus front. Now only 200US below the Memotron. Justice  
for  the arrogance of calling it the  M4000D!
