  • Wouldnt it be easier to just fart into a mic?

  • If the Firesign Theater can make a five-course meal out of dogfood and dishwater...I guess I could make a Mellotron! I'll warn ya tho'--I'm more of the duct tape/krazy gloo type than one who could master a soldering iron. I also come from the Fred G. Sanford school of bang-on-it-twice-to-get-it-to-­work!

    But hey! Give me an extra five pounds of shellac, and I could make a Mellotron MkII!

  • par de imbeciles ociosos

  • o.O this is great!!!!

  • Damn I miss Joanne....Rocketboom just sucks without her.

  • Very ingenious, but it sounds like a piece of junk, maybe they could use better samples

  • Fascinating! Thanks for the Mellotron schematic. Good thing these blokes are building mellotrons -- not bombs. The end was worth waiting for... Sarah Silverman has a lovely pair of cassettes!

  • @rutherk1g

    Please watch all the way through a video before criticizing it.

  • Lol Gigyas

  • Sounds more like a rig of dictaphones LOL

  • Haha. It's cool, I guess, but a real Mellotron sounds beautiful and haunting... Not like farting into a mic, as rutherk1g up there said...
