Mellotronists] Tape length

<<Hi to all I wish to know what is correct tape length for M400
Many thanks Mattia>>

The correct length is where the tapes are just under tension when the back 
bar is in the storage position in the front of the frame.  This allows for any 
difference in configuration between frames i.e. Markus offers extended playing 
time where available and our new frames have a revised lower spring bar 
position.  This normally translates to six feet approx. in imperial terms.

Best,

Martin
