Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

Hey! - I'm just about finished with the Clav D6 I just bought from a friend - new hammer tips, new strings, new lower pickup. I've just finished the yarning and I'm tuning it bit by bit (when I have time) as it is an iterative process. I'd love to share stories about this as it is certainly a learning experience. However, this is the Mellotron list so I'm hesitant to do it here - time to go look for a Clavinet mail list...

I'd take Clav rebuilding and tron re-taping over a VW engine rebuild anyday. Been there, done that

Sorry, thought I'd get that in first so that YOU don't have to. You'll thank
me someday.

Good News!

I've just ordered a full set of new strings for my £60 D6 Clavinet project.
;-)

Bad News!

I'm the fool restringing the bleedin' thing. I thought retaping a Mellotron
was tedious enough.

Good News!

New piston rings for the VW!

Bad News!

You can't get the SUMP off without separating the engine from the gearbox,
just so that the last 2 allen screws that hold the sump on can be removed.
Don't mention the war? I feel like STARTING one right now...
