Hi !

Did he insist on taking the lid off and doing pitch dives? And when
he did, did he make mention that the flywheel is on the wrong
side? :-) 

Some years ago, Medeski Martin and Wood have played in Paris. 
They hired the vintage keyboards (Hammond, Clavinet... ) but no chance to have a Mellotron (surprising ?).
One day before the show, their manager contacted me about the mellotron (he saw my web site) and finally, John Medeski played my dear M400 on stage.
And yes, he took the lid off and did pitch dives ! 
Great performance !

Cheers,

David C.
