Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

Hello....I'm the very happy owner of a newly refurbished Novatron
thanks to Martin & John from Streetly...(M-1832). Jimmy Moore
suggested I join the list...as serendipity would have it, turns out
we're neighbors...not even 20 miles from each other!
It REAL nice to know there's a "workshop" happening nearby here in
the Philadelphia area...I'll probably be bringing my Novatron (STILL
a "mellotron" by any other name!). I know of a DJ from our
local "classic rock" station who seems to have some interest...in
fact, he wanted to come by and record a few mellotron "snippets" for
radio use. Its amazing how few people there are out there that have
even the slightest clue these machines are getting a tremendous
revival...I didn't even know until I got inspired to search for one
after a recent Moody Blues show. Being a prog-rock nut, I naturally
got MkII sounds for the two tape frames...MII-Strings/MII-Flute/MII-
Brass...and then MII-Trombone/MII-Smooth organ/8-Choir.

Well, for an introduction, I've probably rambled-on enough. Will
look forward to meeting some of you, I'm sure, on the 11th.

Best to all,
