"NEW MELLOTRON MANUFACTURERS
That old standby of bands like Barclay James Harvest and the Moody
Blues - the Mellotron - is making a comeback. Sound Sales Inc. of
Connecticut, U.S.A. have taken over the Mellotron trademark and have
begun to manufacture the instrument.
The two models currently available are the 400SM and the Mk. V, with
single and dual manual keyboards respectively. Mellotron accessories
include conversion kits with technical updates, additional tapes from
the famous "library of sounds" and hard shell cases."
Enjoy!
WOW! That's fantastic news! How do we get hold of those guys as there doesn't seem like there is anyone else that can work on them or can sell us new ones.
Ah, don't bother, Frank - I hear they're bodgers of the highest order. :-)
