Mellotronists

Fidelity? What fidelity? My experience of this truly awful machine  is that 
of trying, and failing to get a realistic sound from it at all! The perceived 
bandwidth was so narrow, and the each note's loop had such a pronounced click, 
I found it virtually unusable except way back in the mix with tons of 'verb. 
If memory serves me, I think that third fader was a tone filter.Open that up 
and the background noise would smack you straight between the ears! Guessing 
that the reserve on this item is still some way off, my advise to anyone who's 
thinking of bidding is ...Don't! You are likely to end up in a pool of 
disapointment. There were only a few of these instruments ever made. I wonder why.

ANYTHING is good enough for a couple of crafty Krauts whose 12 year 
gestation period of their last album might just as well have been a 
couple of weeks. Talk about resting on their laurels...........
