But Frank, you do have to admit that there is SOMETHING about feeling  those 
tapes moving under your fingers that lends something to the way you  approach 
playing it. For some reason you don't feel the moving parts of a  piano or 
harpsichord the same way. A tracker organ (i.e.-one where the keys  articulate 
wires opening the pipes to the air chest) has a bit of that nice  feel, but it 
the mellotron that wins in this regard. The Chamberlain would,  too, if the 
keyboard didn't feel so much like a toy (mind you I've only played  a couple of 
M1s).

Absolutely.
