Mellotronists

Buenos Aires, Argentina...well, certainly Argentina has had its fair
share of decent obscure psyche bands (the yahoo! group psychedelica
has a few record collectors who can verify that), and I'm a sure a
handful of cool prog outfits also. 

It seems I recall at least a couple bands behind the Iron Curtain were
recording using Mellotrons long before the Communist Bloc nations and
Europe became one. I mean obscure bands too--beyond Locomotiv GT,
Omega,  and the handful of others that made prog/psyche inroads in the
West.

I would imagine Australia, China, India, Korea, South Africa, Mexico,
Brazil, Israel, etc. would have a scattered survivor here and
there--but places like Mongolia, Cameroon, Bolivia, Afghanistan--now
that would be something to note a living Mellotron amongst the
substinence farmers and beasts of burden.
