Good  point, Fritz. I've had my M400 since 1998 and I've gone through
three wives  and three perfectly good breadknives.



That brings up the inevitable comparison between wives and Mellotrons. Both  
need continuous maintenance. Both can be unreliable at times (but less so with 
 continuous maintenance) Some cost more to maintain than others.
 
And one you can't screw, though it can screw you. This most often only  
happens in front of a crowd.
