The Mellotron Group

Solinas in good shape are highly sought after. Prices, however, are not  
always ridiculous.

Thanks - it definitely is - so the really stupid question:  How hard  are 
these to come across these days?  Are samples the route to take,  or a low 
end synth with a rough and ready chorus pedal?

It's a Solina, I think.

Here's a clip of Bowie on the Tonight show in 1980 - can  someone tell me 
what the top keyboard is?  It has the shitty paneling  look of a chamberlin 
(which Bowie had), but doesn't look big enough to be  an M1.  It sounds cool 
to me, but is probably some kind of synth or  low rent organ.  I have no 
idea if it is, but it sort of looks like  Carlos Alomar playing it.
