Thank you Clay!

Perhaps a little introduction:

I’ve been a member of this group since 2009 but have posted only once or twice. 
As Clay mentioned, I’m also the moderator for the Korg PolySix group. My task 
here will be mainly allowing new members in, and keeping spam and other 
nuisances away.

I’m from the Netherlands and I own an M400 which was originally from the Dutch 
prog-rock band Earth&Fire. I bought it in non-working condition around 15 (?) 
years ago and fortunately it was easy to fix. Since then I’ve used it mostly for 
my own musical doodles, but it has also been used by others. For example in a 
concert of Medeski Martin & Wood, and also by the Foo Fighters in a session for 
Dutch TV (see it in use at http://youtu.be/B_zC24Liq3A?t=24m46s). At that time 
mine was apparently the only working Mellotron in the Netherlands, and the Foo 
Fighters required one or they wouldn’t come. It was a really fun session to 
attend, and awesome to see them in action!

Kind regards,
Ben
