Re: [newmellotrongroup] Anybody seen this one?

Hi all-

   It's refreshing that she recognized some of the shortcomings of the CM-10 and did improvements, along with replacement of aged components (can CM-10s be rescued this way?).  The machine sounded stable under the load of several keys.  I wonder if the absolute pitch stability is now better over time.
   The headblock cable looks like it was shortened and re-attatched to the plug.  A good thing, as it fixes "cable rot", but in the long run doesn't solve the problem.
   I feel she has done her homework on the M400, and recognizes what maintenance mainly needs to be done.  Nice.

       Just saw this as a
 "recommendation" so checked it out. She seems to
 have a good knowledge of the instrument, but would be
 interested to know what the actual experts here
 think.
