Tom, this may surprise you but people still use them on recordings. Mellotrons are experiencing renewed popularity. Would you like to own a fully restored one? I can offer you an exceptional ex ample.

Here's a photo...

RE: OK, now that we have you, fess up. What's your infatuation with Mellotrons?

This is a rhetorical question, right? Until the wonders of the Internet, I had to bore anybody who looked knowledgeabl e with questions about the excellent sound on a few select 60's songs (for that is my era). The songs were '200 light yrs from home", and most of the songs on "days of future passed' (except nights in white satin, which I am sick of); pr'haps a few others. This led to King Crimson, Genesis, and a few others until the dark ages of the late 70s closed over us.

RE: Who are you?

Im a total stranger who accidently bumped a hair trigger in LinkedIN. I invited ONE (1.0) person, and was rewarded with a message saying that invites were sent to 300+ people. I have no idea how to stop the *&^%$ thing either.

We are "connected" by emails from the newmellotrongroup, where I am a lowly lurker. Pls feel free to reject the link and send a nastygram to LinkedIN. I am looking forward to "who the f*** are you messages" for the next couple of months because of this

Unhappily lurking
