A hyothetical question: If someone could produce a
non mechanical sample based machine and it was not
possible to tell the difference in sound between that
and a mellotron, and it was the same price or cheaper,
which would you buy?

Admittedly this is probably not possible, but if a
sample based machine was that good I would buy one. I
sometimes get the impression that mellotrons
mechanical nature and all the problems that go with it
are actually part of its charm for a lot of owners. As
a prospective owner I think it probably is for me as
well but if there was such a machine available I think
my head would rule my heart.
