Re: Magma Mellotron

2003-03-24 by Bernie Kornowicz

Hi David,

Thanks for the correction. My tin ear can't tell the difference 
between a Chamberlin and a Mellotron :(

What is the brass sound in "Dondai"? Mixed brass? Trumpet? It's just 
before the strings towards the end of the song.

P.S. Very nice Mellotron pics on your website!

Bernie
