Mellotronists

Just to show that there are many other appearances of trons in genres 
other than prog...in new age music for examples there are Richard 
Burmer(tron,Chamberlin),early Kitaro,Gandalf,(are 
T.Dream,Jarre,Synergy considered new age?) Jazz users include Herbie 
Hancock(on the Crossings and Sextant albums),Jan Hammer(MK5),Return 
To Forever(Gayle Moran used a 400 with her own voice on it).I wonder 
about classical music(Tomita does classical with trons but is he 
considered truely "classical" or electronic).I have seen European 
conductor James Last mentioned as a tron user/owner but know nothing 
of him.You might think that trons would be a cool addition to a full 
orchestra to help with choral parts etc.
