Mellotron

"Tuning a Mellotron doesn't."

"There’s something on your page where it claims you doused the last Mellotron you owned in petrol and set fire to it. Is that true?"

"I must take it out into the middle of a field one day and burn it."

"I did have that great advantage of knowing the machine inside out and I was able to repair, fix and re-create it!"

"The Mellotron was a very British instrument"

"We did this very simple trick with the Mellotron which I don't think had been done before. In "Watcher of the Skies" in particular, we put it directly through one side of the PA system while putting it via a CopyCat echo machine through the other side, so you got this massive stereo effect"
