Please allow 1-3 weeks for shipping at this time, thank you!

Mellotron introduced the M4000D in 2010 as a compact digital version of the tape-based Mellotron, the instrument behind the sound of 1960s records by the Moody Blues and the Beatles. It keeps the sound, look and feel of the original keyboard and adds some significant improvements. It has since been used on stage and in the studio by many well-known artists and producers.
