Subject: [Mellotronists] Need Mellotron in No. California

 

Hi Everyone--My name is Ross and I'm new to the group. I'm a huge Moody
Blues fan, and 
I've been entranced with the sound of the Mellotron for years. I've had the
pleasure of 
meeting and spending time with Mike Pinder, one of the founders of the Moody
Blues. I'm 
not a musician, but I've heard the mellotron used by many artists over the
years, and Mike is 
(IMHO) the master. I've never heard anyone who's gotten the exquisite sounds
out of this 
tempermental device as he has.

Jerry Korb, who wrote the excellent mellorton history on mikepinder.com,
reffered me to this 
group. I've had a ongoing dream of doing a video documentary on the
mellotron, with Mike 
as the guide. The thing is I need is someone with a functioning mellotron
that would be 
willing to open their home or studio for a good chunk of time to film this.
I don't intend to 
make money on this, just to document a piece of musical history. I didn't
want to approach 
Mike until I had the elements together.

Anyone out there interested? Thanks--Sincerely, Ross
