The Mellotron Group

I believe that when they did they original sampling, they did a little investigating and came to the conclusion that the bandwidth of the original tape recordings didn't merit a higher sampling rate (i.e there was basically nothing on the mellotron master tapes higher than 11 kHz. To be honest I find this a little hard to believe, but that's what they said...indeed the blurb about it may still be on www.mellotron.com for all the world to read...)
