Harrington,

Actually I did nothing to that machine as it was in the video. It was a brand new Streetly M4000. I have now had it nearly 6 years and aside from normal maintenance and deadening the key clacking, I have never had any real issues with it. I love it now like the moment I first saw it when it arrived. As I have always said, it is a big box of genius.

Maybe one day. WOW!  Pretty incredible PLAYING too, I should add!  I'm think I've seen this clip before, but it sure bears repeat watching!  It's funny, regarding the key clicks - my first thought was that they were a bongo-type percussion effect recorded as part of that "most unique" sound! They worked in a jazz-sorta way, but yes, you'd only want them as an additional option!
