Tom, this may surprise you but people still use them on recordings. Mellotrons are experiencing renewed popularity. Would you like to own a fully restored one? I can offer you an exceptional example.

This is a rhetorical question, right? Until the wonders of the Internet, I had to bore anybody who looked knowledgeable with questions about the excellent sound on a few select 60's songs (for that is my era). The songs were '200 light yrs from home", and most of the songs on "days of future passed' (except nights in white satin, which I am sick of); pr'haps a few others. This led to King Crimson, Genesis, and a few others until the dark ages of the late 70s closed over us. -tem _Reply to sender_ (mailto:trolldelux@aol.com?subject=Re:%20Mellotron%20Infatuation) | _Reply to group_ (mailto:newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com?subject=Re:%20Mellotron%20Infatuation) | _Reply via web post_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newmellotrongroup/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJyMGE2a2hqBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0B GdycElkAzIxMjQ1MTQ2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTAzMjE0NARtc2dJZAMxMzE0MwRzZWMDZnRyBHNsa wNycGx5BHN0aW1lAzEzMTQwNDAyODc-?act=reply&messageNum=13143) | _Start a New Topic_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newmellotrongroup/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmYzBpOWV1BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxMjQ1MTQ2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTAzMjE0NARzZWMDZ nRyBHNsawNudHBjBHN0aW1lAzEzMTQwNDAyODc-) _Messages in this topic_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newmellotrongroup/message/13137;_ylc=X3oDMTM3dGMzdXUyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxMjQ1MTQ2BGdycH NwSWQDMTcwNTAzMjE0NARtc2dJZAMxMzE0MwRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawN2dHBjBHN0aW1lAzEzMTQwND AyODcEdHBjSWQDMTMxMzc-) (7) Recent Activity: _Visit Your Group_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newmellotrongroup;_ylc=X3oDMTJmM2xlcXN1BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxMjQ1MTQ2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTAzMjE0NA RzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzEzMTQwNDAyODc-) (http://groups.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTJlMWhlY3RxBF9TAzk3NDc2NTkwBGdycElkAzIxMjQ1MTQ2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTAzMjE0NARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNnZnAEc3RpbWUDMTMxNDA0MDI4 Nw--) Switch to: _Text-Only_ (mailto:newmellotrongroup-traditional@yahoogroups.com?subject=Change Delivery Format: Traditional) , _Daily Digest_ (mailto:newmellotrongroup-digest@yahoogroups.com?subject=Email Delivery: Digest) • _Unsubscribe_ (mailto:newmellotrongroup-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com?subject=Unsubscribe) • _Terms of Use_ (http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/) .
