The Mellotron Group

I've worked with them several times.I think they're fantastic. They've done work on my Rhodes and Clavinet, and I've been completely happy with the results. They really know those types of keyboards. And their prices were also quite fair. 

I believe they picked up the tron you're referring to partially because they are musicians and wanted to have one around and also because they wanted one to work on one to see what they could do with it. They actually called me to get some specs from my Mk. VI. 

So while they are not experienced with trons they are interested in learning how to work with them. Based on their skills with other analogue keys, I'm sure they will become at least somewhat competent with them. Just my two cents.

    I noticed that the Chicago Piano restoration company was undertaking to repair a torn in very bad shape. Any one anything about this company? looks like they do nice restores on Wurlies and such.

 This is repost from Bernie Kornowicz:


It doesn't seem that Frank is doing restores. He and I both forwarded the query to Jerry Korb, but Jerry is also not doing restores until he completes his move from VT to NJ. That could be a couple of months.
