Mellotronists

>I got the tapeframe for my 25th birthday

Wow - whoever got this for you is certainly a keeper!  I don't know anyone 
who'd support my Mellotron habit.  I think most of the people I know feel I 
should be in rehab (well, for a variety of reasons).

>( maybe a bit like Martins smooth organ )...

I wouldn't recommend Martin's smooth organ.  It's always flat.

>So I went for Piano/Vibes w. Vibrato/Wineglasses

I'm glad to see the less often used sounds do get some airing once in a 
while.  And, yes, pitch shifts and bends do make the sounds more versatile.

>So now...I am aiming for a new set...I´d like to go for some MK II rhythms 
>and fills, Mandolin tremoloes and Timpanis or solo female voice...But that 
>will probably change a couple of times until I actually put in my order...

Jimmy M. is going through this exercise now for tapes for his FX 
Console.  I think the talk of the various sounds out here is helpful.  You 
have to get the standards - Flute, Brass, 3 Violins, Choir.  But then he 
has 32 other sounds to fill in---of both old and new sounds!  Yikes!!!  :-)

Gee, what an awful "problem" to have, huh?
