Re: [newmellotrongroup] J-Tron

2008-01-22 by MAinPsych@aol.com

I had the pleasure of  meeting Justin a few years back (prior to getting my 
MkII) and playing the  J-Tron, as well as his own MkII.  The low profile 
housing is elegant, as  you can see, the action is light, and the sound is POWERFUL, 
especially his  recordings of wind instruments.  He's changed the control 
panels again, so  I don't know what knob controls what function.  The price was 
$8K back  then; don't know what the present day price is.

Wow! What a gorgeous instrument. I never saw the finished product  before.


Wonder what it plays like? Judging by the job he did on the mechanics, I  
would venture to guess very nicely indeed.


Anyone here seen it or (better yet) played it?


Rick
