I am happy to announce that although I sold my favorite Mellotron ever, on  
eBay. I am now the proud new owner of M400s # 386. She's black and looks like  
hell, but she is fully upgraded and will soon be a peach. Photos will be up on 
 my myspace page by tomorrow.
 
Off we go.

Peach?

I walked into a used instrument store in Edinburgh and saw That Famous 
Shape in a corner of the room. I approached it with some interest, and 
found that it had not only been painted a resilient shade of lime green, 
but that it was devoid of all mechanism and contained some appaling 
plastic keyboard guts which mimicked the sound of an M400 being played 
next door. In a bag. By a gorilla. In boxing gloves. And he's stone 
fucking deaf.

It was like committing your late grandmother to a funeral parlour and 
finding that they had turned her upside down, stuffed wires and bulbs up 
her genitals and were using her as a standard lamp.

This is, of course because Ken himself is a nice pastel color with a 
seashell motif.
