Re: Mellotron effects

Re: Mellotron effects

2010-01-13 by lsf5275@aol.com

I have recently noticed that my hair has started to thin and turn a bit  
gray. I have noticed other Mellotron owners with what appears to be the same  
affliction. So I'm beginning to think that if you have a Mellotron long 
enough,  this is likely to happen. Back in 2002 when I first acquired a 
Mellotron in the  modern age, I had more hair and no gray. When I was young I had 
one, but only  for a short time so it didn't have a chance to cause any 
changes. Over  the last several years I have been pretty much surrounded by them  
and my hair seems to be thinning and turning gray. There has to be a  
correlation.

Mine was grey before I got mine but did get a lot greyer after, still plenty of it, I suspect M-tron is an antidote. What happened after you got the M4000? You might go bald! I would be willing to take off your hands and run that risk.

Uh oh, I'm in the same boat.  Not the Tron though, its proximity to
vacuum tubes in Fenders.  They suck the follicles right out of you.

I think the white of the mellotrons causes grey hair - the colours are very close.

I got my Mellotron in early July and noticed in October that my crown area is thinning. You may have something, Frank.

Got my 'tron only a few years ago.  But I have had some gray hair for many years (and less on top!).  Maybe just wishing for one will do it....dammit!
