Or perhaps Newtron.
But why not just call it the Mark VI-D?

Well that's no good. They obviously did it to PISS YOU OFF! Now that you are not, they look rather silly.
A tit for tat thing...
Streetly M4000 mellotron
M4ooo-D Mellotron
Sheesh,
To me, it is like saying that the MKVI and MKVII models are obsolete and doomed to irrelevance.
MKXXXIX - D100 Mellotron/Chamberli n/Optagon, is a much more logical choice; why didn't they think of this??

Yeah, I'm working on some some songs for a new album. Doing drum guides with a wonderful Italian drummer by the name of Elyan Fernova now living in Australia!
Amazing that you can now do these arrangements in real time from half way round the world.
Sorry guys, off topic I know.
