You can see most of the left side in the photo . For a complete view, see attached photo of my M300-037. This was the Tron fully restored by John Bradley in 1991 and previously owned by Dave Kean. It appears in DK's videotape demo . Somewhere along its pathway, the original "B" series tapes were removed, and replaced with DK's bespoke sounds. I obtained it in 1997 in Connecticut from Gary Schwartz (remember him ? (un)Sound Sales ) . The M300 was supposed to be sold to Mark Cohn of "Walking In Memphis" fame. Cheers, - Jerry Korb

The footage shows the M300'S strange shape. Pity it isn't used all that much! :( I wonder if this is the M300 that Gentle Giant used? --- In Mellotronists@yahoogroups.com, "Andy Thompson" <andy.thompson@...> wrote: > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "lil_guapo11" <lil_guapo11@...> > To: <Mellotronists@yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2006 10:50 AM > Subject: [Mellotronists] Simon Dupree and the Big Sound - Kites live with > M300(I think) > > > > > http://sonicpollutions.blogspot.com/2006/02/simon-dupree-flies-kites-live-in-1968.html > > V.cool, although I can only get the bloody audio. :-( That's what happens

Andy is right, the tron used on both all of the Simon Dupree recordings and the first self titled Gentle Giant album is a MK II (Kerry Minnear refers in the notes to the new Gentle Giant box set that the original MK was pretty beat up by the time he used it on that first Gentle Giant album and the early recordings contained on "Under Construction.) The M300 appears on "Acquiring the Taste" and "Three Friends", the M400 on "Octopus." The give away M300 sound is also found on recordings (excluding BJH, the Moodies, and Wooly's solo output) on recordings by Frumpy, Earth & Fire, the Dutch band Drama, Ekseption's first five albums before Rick Van Der Linden bought his M400), the Italian band Planetarium's album "Infinity", the French group Nino Rerrer's recording "Metronomie, according to Andy's mellotron list, Fludd's "Cock On" and the earliest M300 recording I am aware of, Boudewijn de Groot's 1968 album "Nacht and Ontij" (for some strange reason
M300s seemed to proliferate in the Netherlands.)

It's an M300 in the clip though and going by the sounds the partially recorded, but unreleased at the time, 2nd album by Simon Dupree and the Big Sound and the first Gentle Giant album also make use of an M300. Cast your ears towards the Mellotron solo on 'Giant' and the quiet middle section of 'Why Not?' from the first GG album. Aren't those M300 strings? --- In Mellotronists@yahoogroups.com, Christopher Haley <mellomancinci@...> wrote: > > Andy is right, the tron used on both all of the Simon Dupree recordings and the first self titled Gentle Giant album is a MK II (Kerry Minnear refers in the notes to the new Gentle Giant box set that the original MK was pretty beat up by the time he used it on that first Gentle Giant album and the early recordings contained on "Under Construction.)

So what happened after the first Gentle Giant album? I wonder, did Kerry Minnear just decide the M300 was "too much trouble" or was there some other "modern" new keyboard that came along at the time and replaced it in his vast setup? Even back in 1970, I'm sure, gear lust must have been a disease just as it is for many of us now. Funny how the more times change the more they stay the same. I predict in 30 years there will be a Yahoo group for users of some new Keyboard that was announced at NAMM a couple weeks ago.

Why, after the first Gentle Giant album, he used it on Aquiring the Taste and Three Friends. :P --- In Mellotronists@yahoogroups.com, Jim Anderson <jimanderson@...> wrote:
