Mellotronists

Martin Orford (IQ, Jadis) in a recent interview:


TIM: Did you ever own a Mellotron?

MO : I used to have a Mellotron, but I sold it to Clive Nolan many 
years ago. I liked the sounds but I don't like the actual instrument at 
all. It's a horrible keyboard and they go wrong all the time. I would 
much rather access those sounds using modern technology that actually 
works! The Sampletank Mellotron sounds sound a lot better to me than my 
old Mellotron 400 anyway, and generally I was pretty disappointed with 
the real Mellotron.
