Mellotronists

It's funny, isn't it?  I am desperate to acquire a Mk. II, a Mk. I or a Mk.
V, and can't agree more that the sound that those monsters produces is
different than that of the M400 series, but we're talking two totally
different creatures here.  I submit that owning one of the big ones is
great, just like owning a V-12 Ferrari F-50, but I'd still be thrilled to
drive a little V-8 Ferrari 360 Modena.  It's still way cooler than anything
else on the road, and the M400, despite its limitations, is still way cooler
than any other keyboard out there with the obvious exception of its big
brothers.  Let's face it, there's only 2400 of us in the world that have
this privilege (probably fewer still when you count the dead and missing
Mellotrons) and no matter what flavor it happens to be, it still has the
unmistakable taste of Mellotron.
