Yes, but to be fair, the proposed extent of the Wiki goes beyond whereeither book does, and that books involve 'buying the book', whereas aWiki means you simply have to gather together information on theInternet and put it in one place where it can be found easily by apotentially unlimited  number of people,.

Hi, Sean.

 

For starters, there's are two informative Mellotronbooks available that may answer a lot of your questions:

    - my book, The Mellotron Book

    - Nick Awde's book, Mellotron: The Machine andThe Musicians That Revolutionised Rock

I've been tossing around the idea of creating a Mellotron Wiki,or rather someone creating a Mellotron Wiki.

I know there is plenty of information out there, somewhere, aboutservicing these beasts, DIY adjustments, playing techniques, and howprevious Mellotron Stars performed and had their Trons mixed into therecords and during live shows.

It's very frustrating digging this sort of information up. The twoMellotron lists are great aids.

Still, I'm thinking we could all benefit and have great fun creating anice Wiki where once the information is found by someone it can befound by everyone fairly easy. I'm hoping that people from Streetly andMarkus to Mike Pinder and such can contribute as they wish.

Let's start tossing these ideas about.
