Are you kidding me?

This is SOOOOOOO COOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!!!

I would give my right leg to be you!

Only turn down the T.V. or radio or whatever that background noise is!

I'm saving this to my favorites without hesitation! One of the coolest videos on YouTube!!!

Thanks for posting!!!! REALLY man!

[Forsure3333]

How much does it cost?

[drunksingsheep]

A NEW one is about $7,000.00 but it has been said that the tape guides are too narrow on the new ones. It was an attempt to correct a derailing problem, but it ended-up causing tape sticking, and other tape problems; breaking, ruffling etc..

One thing folks don't ever mention, is that Fripp and Pinder would roll-in a ton of reverb on certain long-held notes. Much of how Mellotrons sounded so cool was a result of how the track was produced after it was recorded. Robert Fripp was the master NQ.

[hueysito]

what a great machine!

[frankymass]

I would love to have one of those in my house!

[taijiguy]

Are those the M400 violins? They sound a lot different than the MkII violins on my M400.

[Johnnywr]

My mellotron is an EMI400 107 (number 8 out of 100). I bought it in 1986 and it`s currently very out of order. It looks great though...just needs that overhaul. The classic flute/3 violins/cello. I love this video...it shows you just how the fingering of chords is so very important to mellotron playing.

[d1ez3]

filmed like 2 weeks after 9/11

[1zappa]

Is Ian McDonald playing?

[crimsonxtc]

No. This is Pierre Veilleux, formerly with Music Box (Genesis tribute band), at the Tronto workshop on the mellotron, held in Toronto in 2001, at which Ian McDonald was the featured speaker.

[1zappa]

Really? Wow, thanks!!

[spacepatrolman]

@1zappa they used 2 overlapping mellotrons on the record to cover for the tapes running out

[sabourinrock]

not only the british, a quebec band called harmonium used to play some too.

[KeysBR]

Great band by the way.

[Keijz74]

It has a mind of its own..... :o)#

[valentynesuite]

emotion

[douro20]

It plays wonderfully...until a damaged action ruins the tape.

[faunoram]

hermoso!!

[hoddle90]

only the british could make this beautiful instrument magical

[PeterMayer]

Not quite. They took it from an American called Chamberlain.

[Augustincat04]

Ahh...I love this song!!! Well improvised :-)

[BonzoMcBonzo]

chord at 1:12!!! that's what makes this instruments, the way those notes just sing!

[maxxmaxxsbrot]

FANTASTIC....

[mattus3215]

that's the best sound ever!

[PrimordialFlameVideo]

I would like to see the theme of 'The Court of the Crimson King' played on this instrument. Good Job!
