Testimonials

“In the studio these days I rely more and more on software instruments but the M4000D Mellotron has become one of the few physical instruments that I want by my side. It's classic look and impeccably crafted traditional sounds are always inspiring to me. This is an instrument of the finest quality and it just feels right and sounds great.”
Jordan Rudess, keyboardist Dream Theater

“The coolest keyboard ever made! It's the one instrument I would take with me to a desert island.”
Jason Schwartzman, actor

“The Mellotron 4000 is quite impressive. The sounds have great fidelity and dynamics but truly retain the character of the original tapes. It's great having tow banks to switch back and forth and to blend together. The added pitch control makes it great to fine tune sounds to the track. The audio quality is superb, the interface is easy and the Midi works very well.”
Joe Chiccarelli, producer for Morrissey, U2, Beck etc, engineer for Frank Zappa, White Stripes etc.
