I have received My M4000

I have received My M4000

2009-08-01 by lsf5275@aol.com

Now that John and Martin have returned from their vacations, I wanted to  
let you all know that I received my M4000 last Wednesday and it was well 
worth  the wait. The is a Mellotron beyond all others. Quite simply, everything 
else  pales in comparison. The craftsmanship is second to none and it just 
fucking  cool!
 
Here is my tape set and some photos. I am gloriously happy. It is a box  
full of genius.

Congratulations Frank. You are indeed a lucky chap. I've seen at first hand 
 the level of care and craftsmanship that's gone into your electro/ 
mechanical  marvel, and every nut bolt and diode have been lovingly put in place by 
the  Streetly team. Craftsmanship of the highest order, in my opinion.
Well done!
Happing Tronning!

It may have been Martin who said this, or perhaps Gordon Reid, but the  
M4000 truly make the Mellotron as viable as touring or recording instrument. 
 
It is beautifully made and should be reliable as hell. Most importantly for 
 those in the music industry and especially for me, it's nearly idiot  
proof.

No Unicorns... we're going to put garden gnomes all over it; maybe a couple 
 of elves with Martin's, John's and Paul's faces. We might just paint it 
with  pictures of dwarves dressed up as elves and garden gnomes. We've even 
thought of  making it into a chia-tron. Or maybe the Wizard of Oz... Yeah, 
that's it, we'll  paint Dorothy and the crew skipping merrily along on the back 
of the Tron, with  the wicked witch of the East painted on the right side 
and the wicked witch of  the West on the left. We'll put Glenda on the top, 
of course. And perhaps some  sparkly red shoes sticking out from under the 
bottom

RE: [newmellotrongroup] Name That Tune..

2009-08-03 by Ms. Janet Strauss

.er, actually,  - name the keyboards.

 

I've been listening to this rather haunting instrumental tune called "Birds
on a Wire" by Spyra, from their Etherlands CD.

 

I'd post it  - but I haven't a link handy.

(I found it on iTunes.).


You can sample the track, or if you are willing to risk  0.99 US  I think
you would enjoy it.

 

I'm sure there is some kind of viola strings, very gloomy - and the weird
bird calls are moog. 

Rhodes piano.and something keyboard like that I swear is on Pink Floyd's
Umma Gumma.
