Lol at Brian Wilson attempting to play "California Girls"on the mellotron at 1:37

Definitely looking forward to seeing this... But you can't talk about Mellotron without including Rick Wakeman and Tony Banks!

Two great bands to listen to that made great use of the Mellotron are Pavlovs Dog and a brilliant Kiwi band from the 70's called Ragnarok.

@bitchazzmothafuckaz I agree! That no-talent piece of crap has no right being mentioned in anything to do with Mellotrons/Chamberlins. What the bloody hell?!

If you want to hear the best use of M strings, hear King Crimson song: "In The Wake Of Poseidon" 1970 E.G. Music.

The way a Mellotron is produced or recorded was as important as it's stand alone sound. The Moody Blues, King Crimson, and Genesis would bring up the reverb just over the long notes, also consequently raising the volume to a crescendo. Blending two or more tracks was also done for a stereo and fuller sound. Best program sample: Reason.
