Thanks Tom. This was the Mellotron used on Freddy Fender's "Wasted Days  & 
Wasted Nights".

Let's make it a point of getting together ar FarFest at least a drink.  I 
should let the FF guys know that if they need some vintage 70's  performance 
synths we may be able to help.  Between Jeff and I we have  a lot. Not a 
workstation between us.

Someone needs to contact me. Here are photos of the just completed  one, 
taken at dawn.

And this is a photo of keyboard assembly. I'm dressing  out the keys and 
putting them in place. No pressure pads yet. This was  Wednesday night or 
early Thursday morning. No windows  in the shop.

Nice Mellotron work at NearFest Apocalypse by Frank Stickle.  The 
instruments looked and sounded beautiful.  


I did notice that two M400s sounded much better than the M-Faux-K.  I 
actually could tell the difference and I was surprised because  ROMplers tend to 
be stage efficient.  Not the case at all this  time.


It truly is a fact: there is no real substitute for a real  Mellotron - 
Novatron 
 


Sorry we couldn't meet up Frank everybody was talking to everybody  else, 
socializing etc...


They are going to need Mellotrons at Farfest, my next festival. The  lineup 
is out of teenage dreams.
