Begs the question Martin. Why didn't you build it?
I think it would have gone OK.

Yes, but Martin judges. As you can imagine, both sides have appealed

Because tests showed that it did not sound quite like a Mellotron, or as the conversation went - "oh bugger it will have to have tapes in then..."
Good thing really otherwise you wouldn't have had the M4000 we now have.

Right and then maybe you could make another double manual version like the Mark V .
Now that would be cool!
