Mellotronists

We should not forget that Ian Anderson if not invented his technique then at
least invented
his technique in the context of rock, and so much that his style of blowing
with the voice is
a signature flute sound. No matter what purists say.

  picky picky picky. most rock flute players I've heard are trying their
  damndest to retain some delicacy in the face of overwhelming odds; blowing
  across the end of a foot-and-a-half of tubing, nearly always miked up
wrong,
  with a wall of marshalls (or whatever) a few feet behind them.
