Music: Magical Mystery Mellotron
June 1, 2005
Most fascinating in Smith’s “carriage clock” design is that the
player can watch the tapes being drawn through the complex playback system, a
mechanism that has remained an enigma for over 40 years, until now.
This
commission, which is priced at $36,000, comes with classic Beatles sounds:
flute, violins, and trombone (with the “Bungalow Bill” intro on one key). A tape
frame with an eight-voice choir, brass, and cello, and some of the sounds made
popular by the band Genesis, is also provided.
Streetly Electronics can
undertake any commission and will craft an instrument to suit the client’s
precise requirements.
