I have received three offers.  Thank you all.  

The first offer came from the owner/moderator of the Korg PolySix Yahoo group.  Ben has a Mellotron.  He has been a member of our group for years but has not posted often.  

I was going to do a vote as Bill Rudloff suggested but ....  I didn't.

Ben Stuyts is the new group owner.  Welcome Ben! 

Clay 

 

 

Thank you for taking over as moderator Ben.

Thank you Clay!

Perhaps a little introduction:

I’ve been a member of this group since 2009 but have posted only once or twice. As Clay mentioned, I’m also the moderator for the Korg PolySix group. My task here will be mainly allowing new members in, and keeping spam and other nuisances away.

I’m from the Netherlands and I own an M400 which was originally from the Dutch prog-rock band Earth&Fire. I bought it in non-working condition around 15 (?) years ago and fortunately it was easy to fix. Since then I’ve used it mostly for my own musical doodles, but it has also been used by others. For example in a concert of Medeski Martin & Wood, and also by the Foo Fighters in a session for Dutch TV (see it in use at http://youtu.be/B_zC24Liq3A?t=24m46s). At that time mine was apparently the only working Mellotron in the Netherlands, and the Foo Fighters required one or they wouldn’t come. It was a really fun session to attend, and awesome to see them in action!

Kind regards,
Ben
