Mellotronists

Is this guy kidding?


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=871932892

In the last few weeks, a couple of Magnus Chord Organs have sold for $150.00
to $180.00.  The first one that was offered had a line in the ad copy saying
how it had a sound that was reminiscent of the Mellotron line in "Tuesday
Afternoon" and evidently, things are snowballing as everyone wants to get on
the bandwagon now.

Hi Gang, Perhaps not. I heard of an "Accordovox" in early '60s. My chin
dropped upon finding-out it was not a VOX Continental mated with a Honda.

....And the revered Optigan (Hi Pea Hicks!) sounds precisely like the MK-II....

I was with Pierre Veilleux one summer day in Montreal two years past,and he
purchased a "Pianorgan" with nice shiny woodwork,much like the MK1/2 's.
Didn't sound like either,after we fixed it to cure the tortured wheezing sounds
emanating from within.....What can you expect from an "antique-shop"
special for CDN$20.00  ?......

Whats' next, the  "Mellophone?".....You can call anywhere in the world,
but only for eight-seconds......Cheers, JK ( still a Mellotron nutter)

They sound like a wheezy harmonium with an electric motor to my ears.
