- The one I played was #005 which is the same one Ryo is now selling on e-Bay.
- I played it at Streetly some years ago when it was being renovated
- I found the sound reproduction pretty crummy, and the clattering of the cartridges distracting
- I also found the key action horrid. I found it heavy, hugely 'oversprung' and more tiring on the hands than even the Mellotron.

Mike, you're avoiding the questions. When and where did you play one, and who did it belong to. Your first email was pointed and filled with opinions. Fair enough. But in his rebuttal, Dave asked fair questions. Your retort was silly. Support the reasons for your opinion. I think that's reasonable. There isn't one credible word in the statement below.Frank
No, Frank. Dave's response was rude. He called Mike a liar, did he not? I don't think you'd be too happy if someone you didn't know called you a liar. If Dave wanted questions answered, he should have asked them in a civilized manner. It's lucky that Mike is just so damn nice about these kinds of things.
Or not.
