Mello in Berlin

Mello in Berlin

2003-10-25 by thomas waltner

--The Mellotron in Berlin has a nice price, yes! If I have not yet one, I
think I would bid on that. The 
German notes say (as one of you already guessed...):

"The first tape-frame includes the sounds: Male Choir, String Sektion and
Brass; I only say: Klaus 
Schulze, tangerine dream, Moody Blues "Night in White Satin" if you pitch
the Choir with three notes 
(smooth as butter (= Keyboard, I guess) the mechanical feeling is
one-of-a-kind!) you are in the final 
section of 2001.

The second tape-frame (incl. case) has the sounds: Flute, Violin/Cello und
Sax/Brass, Strawberry Fields 
Forever , King Crimson (In the Court of The Crimson King) "EPITAPH",
(Islands) Sailor\ufffds Tale "the best 
Mellotron String songs for me:), Yes "Yes Song Live", Robert Wyatt,
Kraftwerk etc.

all 6 sounds original Mellotron, super quality, excellent condition of
frames & tapes (?, springs)

The M 400 is in very good condition (all 35 keys, 35 heads, rubber...? ,
mechanic of the tapes, capstan, 
volume-knob, pitch-knob, sound-selection etc.) and can be used imediatly."

--The rest is about the messures & weight, you know this all very well.
Sorry, nothing about the history of 
this item!!! No fingers of Klaus Schulze on that keys!
Hope this translation is right & helps if someone will buy it in Germany.
But forget anything about some 
nice days here \ufffd the weather is bad, only rain, cold, dark...  :-(((

Greetings
Thomas
