Mk2 to M-400 design

2004-08-24 by mellotrongirl

The Mk1 and Mk2 are certainly beautiful pieces of 
furniture...beautiful woods, thick polished shellac...and even a 
matching bench. So why does the M-400 look so...so...basic?

Is this because musicians demanded a more roadworthy unit, or was it 
just because the articulate outward craftsmanship was a bit too 
spendy? I gather a possibility might have been the way M-400s were 
marketed more towards active touring musicians, and the Mk2 was more 
directed to the family living room decor.  

Am I right or wrong....or?
