What's not to like? Alan Parsons was substantially responsible for Dark  
Side of the Moon.

Ah! The miracle of a talented producer.....The Sixth Moody, Tony Clarke,  
had a major part to play in their sound, like it or not.

It's the same string sound a 400 has but the sound is coming from (at  that 
time) the MK II tube preamps, miked up speakers, and an plate  reverb.

It's more the processing than the actual tapes. Modifying the  Mellotron 
came later.

I'm not a Moody Blues fan but just been listening to "nights" again,  not a 
song I like but the mellotron sound really is wonderful, I think the  Mark 
II has a sound of it's own I don't believe you could make an M400  sound 
like  that.
