Hey hey,
 
There seems to have been a lot of Orchestrons  resurfacing lately...I know 
of three that are shifting hands for impressive  prices. Are they worth  it 
? Probably not. But is a Mellotron  400 with one tape frame worth 5 -6000 ? 
A lot of people wouldnt think  so...
 
Anyways this discussion has made me think about  how much I use mine and 
how it compolements the Mellotron. Also...the other  week I got the latest 
"new" disc from Pea Hicks, The Marimba...and it sounds  great. Not as much 
resonance as the Mellotron Marimba rolls. I think he will  be doing Glockenspiel 
next which is a terrifying thought considering the  instruments somewhat 
limited frequency range...
 
A couple of weeks back my band Nanook of the  North mixed a track with the 
Orchestron choirs in the verses doubling the  glockenspiel. 
 
If you are curious to hear it you can download it  here...

The orchestral stuff (harp,  glockednspiel, french horn, cello and 
clarinet) is all real. Other  keyboards are the Yamaha GX-1, Mellotron 
stringsection, solina organ (the  bass), Mellotron vibes.  
 
This isnt released yet so for private consumtion  only, please...
 
have a great weekend...!
