Interesting quotes earlier regarding the threat to classical musicians' jobs; the Mellotron was originally conceived as a studio instrument (which is probably why they were notoriously unreliable when exposed to the rigours of a rock tour - a bit like classical musicians ) & when the BBC in England started using them occasionally in the 1960's, there was an uproar from the Musicians Union, claiming they were trying to replace 'proper' musicians (which is ironic, given the amount of backing tracks, overdubs & miming now employed )

Great pic Zafreth - Emerson doesn't look impressed, does he?
