The Mellotron Group

I am sure the M300 string tapes still exist but I
haven't heard the sound I want, I am not sure if it is
a characteristic of the M300 and the spring line
reverb, Woolly uses an M400 these days using the m300
strings but it is not the same. I haven't quite been
able to determine if this is because he wants a
different sound or that the old sound is unobtainable.
I suspect the latter.
