 Jesse,

You are correct that Harry Chamberlininvented the concept of the tape replay keyboard first and I would alwaysgive him credit for that.

As a result of Les Bradley/Streetly,many more Mellotrons were made and thus the majority of tape replay keyboardsused were Mellotrons, hence the major recognition.

Similar to Henry Ford, he didn't inventthe car but he made it accessible...

All the best,  Norm

There were manypredecessors who attempted to produce
electric light.But Edison in USA and Sir Joseph Swan in England
concurrentlyinvented the first PRACTICAL incandescent light.
