The Mellotron Group

Of course!  I should have realized that it's so easy to find a  Mellotron 
(or other instrument) merely by knowing what state or country it's  in...or 
its history.

I don't know if you are aware of this but theft is a signifigant problem  
amoung people who people who play music, transport instruments, repair , 
store  and generally own them. There is even a market for instruments would be  
immediatey identifiable. Unlike famous art, known instruments are quietly  
traded and ransomed back and sometimes fought over.


I know many people that have to make sure their homes are extra secure or  
they would be robbed.  I have lost a modular Moog and a Les Paul to  thieves 
and I have had to do some cloak and dagger shit to recover gear for  people 
I have worked for.


Insurance is hard to get , hard to claim and really expensive.


It isn't getting over yourself, it is being practical;
