The Mellotron Group

No... but if they are both perfectly set up, you'd be hard pressed to hear  
the differences, which would be far more subtle. I think the condition of 
the  tape heads themselves as well as the condition of the preamps and line 
amps  makes a difference. The rest is just wire. I can usually tell the  
difference between one with the old WME boards as opposed to the PML 1 or  2.
 
If you bring the Orchestron to NEARfest I'll gladly have a look.

Also  another interesting fact is that everyone seems to think that their 
Mellotron  sounds exactly like everyone elses...I have two Mellotrons side by 
side in the  studio and they dont sound the same when shifting tapes 
around. Is there such  a thing as a Mellotron Standard...?
