2002-04-30 by phlizmo
just wanted to say hi as i am new to the group and very soon will be a new mellotron user.. i expect my black MKVI by summertime,(thanks Markus!).. Having read the mellotron book many times over i am almost sure that there are some out there that would love to quench my excitment by telling me that what i am getting is not the real deal.. As of now I am not sure what to think about that .. I have been assured by a certain MK II and 400 user , (Brian Kehew/moogcookbook), that the MK VI is well worth it.. i still have yet to get it in my hands but i am positive that if this thing will let me get "Strawberry Fields..", "Starless", and "The Rain Song" in my own living room i will be more than Pleased! I know there seems to be two schools of thought about all of this, two CAMPS if you will.. I dont claim any one side ... Not yet anyway.. All i can say is Markus trully loves what he is doing , ( he couldnt possibly be in it for the money), and is one of the greatest human beings i have EVER had the pleasure of doing buisiness with.. That said I am looking forward to all of the mellotron related conversation with all of you.. best wishes! Derrick Espino, (almost a melotronist)
