Well, technology has moved on, after all.... They could always use good Mellotron samples...
Also, the sound has a definite era associated with it and these artists may feel that they have "moved on"...
Now, I own #340 because I love the historical significance and the oddity of the mechanics... Would I use it to perform live? No... I would sample it and use the samples...
Question: "Why do you suppose that so-called mellotron pioneers - e.g.
Wakeman, Fripp, etc. - avoid using them today?"
(It really seems that these guys want absolutely nothing whatsoever to
do with mellotrons, doesn't it?)
I was just wondering...
