Yes, but to be fair, the proposed extent of the Wiki goes beyond where either book does, and that books involve 'buying the book', whereas a Wiki means you simply have to gather together information on the Internet and put it in one place where it can be found easily by a potentially unlimited number of people,.

Hi, Sean.

For starters, there's are two informative Mellotron books available that may answer a lot of your questions:

- my book, The Mellotron Book

- Nick Awde's book, Mellotron: The Machine and The Musicians That Revolutionised Rock

I've been tossing around the idea of creating a Mellotron Wiki, or rather someone creating a Mellotron Wiki.

I know there is plenty of information out there, somewhere, about servicing these beasts, DIY adjustments, playing techniques, and how previous Mellotron Stars performed and had their Trons mixed into the records and during live shows.

It's very frustrating digging this sort of information up. The two Mellotron lists are great aids.

Still, I'm thinking we could all benefit and have great fun creating a nice Wiki where once the information is found by someone it can be found by everyone fairly easy. I'm hoping that people from Streetly and Markus to Mike Pinder and such can contribute as they wish.

Let's start tossing these ideas about.
