The Mellotron Group

Hi Chris,
 
I've been emailing Nic Lewis off-list. He apparently used to build  
Birotrons at the factory... Nice guy. I used to correspond with him a few years  
back. All you missed was a few bitches having their periods.

Hi Frank:
 
I haven't read anything in order yet but thanks for giving me a rundown.  
I'll read the posts in order tonight. Geez - I've been away in BC for 2  
months and I return to this?  Wow!!
 
It doesn't sound like the Dave Biro I know. He was always jovial with me  
and very private about the Birotron story, but I suppose it could be  if he 
was riled by something.  Is the guy still on the list? Maybe it's  someone 
else who worked there?
 
 
Well if everyone believes in and stands by their opinions, then no one  
should have to apologize for them. We're all adults and were free to  disagree 
from time to time. I'd say the history of the list is rife with "ex -  
zamples"!!
 
But yes, we do have to be careful how we word things though. F***ing  Tact 
is always best mutha f***a .  : - )   Gawddamned Mutha  F***in' Cabin Fever 
it could be...eh - specially he-ya in da noeth of  Kanada!! 
 
But a bigger concern and the real point we're here - if we  collectively 
don't support these instruments, share resources, and help  each other out - 
we doom them to extinction. That's how I feel about all  of them now.
 
Sample libraries are not a replacement for the sound, feel, electronic  
smell, or sight of the real thing, just as these things  aren't replacements 
for an orchestra.
 
 
Okay lecture over - Now I'm goin to slap ma bitch and spank mah  monkey!
 Word to y'all :)
 
Later dudes!:)

Boy, that's unfortunate. Whoever trondave is (Will Davis), he could  have 
rebutted in a more constructive manner. To outright call someone a liar  and 
then to state categorically that no one in the entire Universe who has  ever 
played a Birotron would ever think the action is poor is a pretty broad  
claim. He then recommended that we Google Birotron keyboard action. That's  
just plain weird. I don't think anyone on this list owes trondave an  apology. 
Perhaps he might readdress his feelings here and tell us what he  knows, 
thereby supporting his position as he (and I) challenged Mike to do  (and 
which he did), then we can move on.
 
Should we all chalk this one up to cabin fever?
 
Last thought. Perhaps Martin can ask Ryo why he is selling it.

If  (is it Will Davis?) is actually Dave Biro, knowing him  as I do, I can 
personally guarantee that you will never, ever, ever,  ever, ever, hear the 
complete beginning to end Birotron story from  him on this list - even if 
apologies are made. He'll never share it  if the exchange here is as bad as it 
*appears* to be, and that he'll  probably request I say no more about 
Birotrons here as  well.
