Mellotronists

All I can figure is that they find the sound reminiscent of that nasally sax 
sound in the verses of "Tuesday Afternoon."

Hey!
     I have a Royalist Chord organ in the studio that
get used on many a track.  We call it "Wheezy,"
appropriately enough.  It's actually like a Magnus on
steriods; finished birch cabinet, screw-on legs and
two volume settings, as well as a knee lever for
swells.  Let me tell ya, the thing gets loud!  I think
it was a $15 dollar ebay purchase around 8 years ago. 
I definitely didn't confuse it with a 'tron!  A fun
little unit.
