I have been told by many that this email didn't arrive so here goes again and apologies to those who already received it...............

 

Hello,

 

We have been asked on several occasions why our frames are more expensive than some.  After all, it's just a frame that houses tapes for a mellotron.  Well, it's the way we build them sadly.  They are engineered to death and are as strong as an ox.  We could engineer out some features and make them cheaper but having John B around prevents this!  So what makes us that litle bit more pricey?  Here are some pics.....

 

 

High tensile bolts are used throughout as are very sturdy brass pins and support brackets.

 

 

The frame is jig assembled for absolute accuracy by our Mr Soukal ( who also makes them)

 

 

 

These frames are virtually indestructable, fully assembled and anyone who has tried one comes back for another.

 

All this means that they are refreshingly that bit dearer!∗∗  No apologies.

 

Best,

 

M + JB

ps - ∗∗so are our tapes but we hunted down EMI and the results speak for themselves
