i really dig the vibes tapes.
actually used them quite recently and they really served the intended purpose.
i prefer them over the samples in my samplers most of the time.
[and i have a pretty big sample library to choose from]

Not sure how old the tapes in my mellotron are, except they are not the original set, probably at least 15 years old but I really like the way they sound. I am happy with the new tapes, they are a lot more realistic and sound quite different, I love the M300a strings but I prefer the flute and choir sounds on the old set except for the horrible hum on the F above middle C on the old set. I have also learned to love the Mark II 3 violins so I still use the old tapes quite a lot.
