Mellotronists

Hi !

I have one as well and there are pictures and films of mine at the Tokyo Mellotron studio.
The Choirs on Trans europe express are a Orchestron as well some of the strings...All the " soft " padsy strings are Orchestron...There is some Mellotron as well but it is pretty easy to hear as the key clicks are pretty apparent....My Orchestron is a Model A which is according to Pea Hix from Optigan.com some weird model....It looks like a Model B but the pitch is unlimited.
