Mellotron M400S and Muff |
| Description |
This is one of the nicest all-original Mellotrons you will ever see. nLi checked it when it arrived at VEMIA, and it honestly seemed like he was the first person who had opened it up in 30 years or more. Incredibly clean inside, and pretty excellent outside, too - having a lovely Protector Muff in good condition must have helped. There are a few marks on the top, and the right-hand edges near the keyboard have two or three small bits of damage - see photos - but otherwise the finish is still smooth and beautiful after all these years. The Muff has a tear in the top (about 10cm, two sides of a triangle), but is otherwise very good, with all straps and clasps strong and 100% functional.
The instrument sounds like you expect a Mellotron to sound. It's not as good as a Streetly-refurbished machine, but it is still extremely playable, recordable, and even usable on stage. It is probably one of the latest machines ever to have a CMC10 motor control board, so you will have pitch instabillity if you try playing two handfuls of notes, but the characteristic whine of that board is almost non-existent.
*It comes with a tape set of flute, cello and three violins.* The flute set especially is gorgeous. The tone and volume controls are noisy - nLi didn't have time to clean them, but it should be a simple job. It has a Bulgin lead but no pedal. Delivery should be possible from VEMIA to southern Britain and north-western Europe, or we can organise economical crating (at your expense) to send further afield.
