Subject: [Mellotronists] NeedMellotron in No. California
Hi Everyone--My name is Ross and I'm new to the group.I'm a huge Moody Blues fan, and
I've been entranced with the sound of the Mellotron for years. I've had thepleasure of
meeting and spending time with Mike Pinder, one of the founders of the MoodyBlues. I'm
not a musician, but I've heard the mellotron used by many artists over theyears, and Mike is
(IMHO) the master. I've never heard anyone who's gotten the exquisite soundsout of this
tempermental device as he has.
Jerry Korb, who wrote the excellent mellorton history on mikepinder.com,reffered me to this
group. I've had a ongoing dream of doing a video documentary on the mellotron,with Mike
as the guide. The thing is I need is someone with a functioning mellotron thatwould be
willing to open their home or studio for a good chunk of time to film this. Idon't intend to
make money on this, just to document a piece of musical history. I didn't wantto approach
Mike until I had the elements together.
Anyone out there interested? Thanks--Sincerely, Ross
