That presupposes there are enough people out there who would want or use
one. Maybe there are, but the fact is that what sells are plastic boxes
with funny buttons on top that go bleep when you push them. Mellotrons
have a reputation - rightly or wrongly - for being large, heavy and
unreliable but sounding great. If you can get over the hump of the
problems then there are all the audio benefits to be enjoyed.
Unfortunately, from what I hear these days it seems that everyone is
tone deaf and has no sense of taste whatsoever.
