As for the 10 Best Keyboards, that's almost too easy. In no particular order:
M4000
Mellotron MkVI
Mellotron MkII
Chamberlin M1
Chamberlin 600
Chamberlin 300
Chamberlin Riviera
Mellotron 400
Mellotron MkV
Mellotron Mk1
Wow! A Mellotron dominated favorites list. Not much room for anything else. How would one break this down?
- Mellotrons as a category of instruments?
- M400's as the most abundant?
- MkII's as the most aesthetically desirable?
- M4000's as the most practically desirable?
- T-550's as the most rarest?
Perhaps two favorites lists: One with Mellotrons as a general category among other keys; the other exclusively tape replay instruments.
