Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

Hi to everyone- I am a seventeen year old female called Gia, and I am
a fairly new mellotron fanatic- Ever since I fell in love with the
Moody Blues about 2 years ago, I also fell hopelessly in love with
the mellotron! I haven't got a CLUE about any of the technicalities
and I am FAR from a mellotron buff, but i love the mellotron sound
and i feel a deep affection for the clunky old machines!The thing is
the best mellotron I have EVER heard is the atmospheric, wailing
mellotron that the moody blues used- it sounds like a creepy, thin,
synthetic orchestra...... can anyone tell me EXACTLY what make and
model the moodies used, so that i can go about getting one for
myself?...... thanks!
