Mellotronists

I don't know, maybe it's just that I'm more of a pragmatist than a purist, 
but I find this to be a long-overdue item, and I only wish that one or both 
of our Mellotron heritage and development groups had created it instead of a 
third party. Long-time members of the group may recall a long post I wrote 
some time ago in which I described a fantasy machine very much like what 
these folks have produced. I know a lot of you actually do it, but I dread 
the thought of taking my irreplaceable treasure on stages in the crappy 
venues that most working bands play, yet still wish I could have a closer 
reproduction of "that sound" than my own creations as well as a more 
authentic physical environment and this is a great effort towards that.  I 
think it will ultimately only help the sales of real Mellotrons and will be 
yet another part of this great lineage.  I wish them the best, and hope to 
acquire one myself.  After, of course, my Mark II, or Mark IIx, or Riviera, 
or whatever other monster tape-replay device I manage to ensnare first...
