Mellotronists

That "Uriah Heep" mellotron, s/n 1080, was once owned by magician 
David Copperfield. Copperfield got it because his idol, English 
magician, David Nixon had had a Mk II mellotron in the mid 60's. 
Magician David Nixon was also working with Les Bradley on the 
promotion of the mellotron. Both Nixon and Copperfield were quite 
good on the mellotron and I've heard that John Lennon commented, in 
Rolling Stone, that," those guys could play the dickens out of those 
mellotrons".
