#ChurchStudioTech First released in 1963, The Mellotron was a pioneering piece of audio machinery heard on countless records from The Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever", to Radiohead's "OK Computer". The guts comprise a reel of individual reels of tape (one per key) often with sampled recordings of choirs and orchestras. With an instantly recognisable sound, the Mellotron is often a go-to when vintage vibes are required
