Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

glad to report that one of the two mellotrons in finland is in excellent
shape. 923 has a rather elderly motor controller which eventually settled down and
gave stable performance, as did we (radio massacre international) at the
espoo centre last saturday.
sadly, the language barrier prevented much dialogue with esa kotilainen, it's
owner, so I couldn't find out what was wrong with his other m400, but this
one behaved perfectly. one of the strings, the cello and the flute, since you
ask. his choir tapes are raxed, though, and european baggage allowances
prevented us taking some of our own sounds for it. next time perhaps.
raimo, if you're lurking out there, tell esa thanks some more- we got a great
recording. I hope he likes the cd's. & have him get on to streetly and start
using the 'trons again.
