……and with the relatively small number produced as well as the relatively high price many of these instruments should have
very interesting histories. Alembic keeps a record of the initial sale and also what exotic woods and customizations were done
and owners down the line can voluntarily update the records as they change hands.

I think that's a great idea too Gary!
Mine's history lies mostly with me, but I'd still like to know more.

Hey Frank,
Have you or others on this group ever considered a Mellotron registry database to try to account for the ones still in existence.
I have an Alembic bass and they maintain a database of all of the instruments they have produced and you can access it and enter
your instrument info on their website. It would be interesting to see the SN & history (if known) of the Mellotrons out there.
….just a thought…..
Gary

I've never seen so many for sale at once.
