We all know it from the first bars of "Strawberry Fields Forever" by the Beatles: The Mellotron.
This antique and highly intricate instrument was the analog precursor to a sampler.
In two pieces of my album, the Mellotron sound plays a prominent role. So far, it has been simulated with a synthetic instrument. However, for the definitive production, I would like to make a new recording with a real, rare instrument.
Therefore, I am searching for a Mellotron within reachable distance from Bern, which I could use for half a day with my mobile recording setup.
In return, I offer 5 copies of the double vinyl record, 2 concert tickets, and of course, a mention in the album credits!
