The flute isn't great, but the strings aren't bad, combine it with Savihost and it's less than 100mb on a usb drive for a passable and very portable tron. Mixes sounds quite well which isn't easy with M-tron. Thanks for posting the link Mike.

The flute is usually a good yardstuick, and I note that it misses both the distinctive F2 and D3 completely.

Not too shabby. For someone gigging, or mixed so it's not all up
front, that could be very serviceable. Concur that it sounds quite
a bit better than M-Tron (which I own).
