Hi David,
Thanks for the offer. Actually, Vicki Blechta provided a translation (thanks Vicki). Since I mentioned it on the list and it ∗is∗ Mellotron related, I'm including it here in English for all to read.
"Hi Ken,
I know a super French group suggested by MUSEA which uses the mellotron in an amazing capacity. It would seem that their keyboard, which was repurchased from someone in Switzerland, was Yes's Novatron. The group is called Versailles, but I don't know if they still exist. See you soon.
Make a wish and voila! www.voila.fr "
We weren't completely certain about the meaning of that second sentence, so I added some words to convey what I ∗think∗ he meant.
Commenting on the message, isn't Patrick Moraz from Switzerland, and wasn't he in Yes at one time? I wonder if that Novatron could have been his?
Ken M.
