The Mellotron is a keyboard instrument that uses linear strips of tape to get it's sound. This wonderful instrument has been used by such bands like: The Beatles, The Moody Blues, King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, and many more! Now in the digital age many bands have started to recapture that classic sound by sampling the Mellotron, and replaying the sounds through modern keyboards. Such bands to use Mellotron samples include: Garbage, U2, Radiohead, Fritz Doddy (real tron actually), Dream Theater, Vutdevuk, and many more! Join us even if you don't own a real Mellotron!
