Tonysounds Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Why didn't you make it a white Mellotron? Hitting "Play" does NOT constitute live performance. -Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resigned Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I had something very similar in the 80's. Had problems with the shelves bending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losendoskeys Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Why didn't you make it a white Mellotron? I remember the "white painted Mellotron" look - yeuch Especially after it had had seven bells knocked out of it!

Losendoskeys Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 That looks great! What is it made from? And does it fold up at all for transport? I acquired it from a guy who made it to accommodate two XK3's. They were a friction fit into a support bar on either side - it had a piece of strap across the front to stop it springing apart. As it is too big for the SK2 I couldn't do that (wouldn't anyway) so decided to fit two shelves (hence the black paint!). And yes, take out the two shelves and the sides fold in I'll take another pic on Saturday when it is ready for action with the two keyboards installed.

StanC Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Gotta ask. . . what are those huge handles for? So it all folds up, presumably the sides fold in across the back? At least from the pic, seems like its not a good place to carry the folded unit from.

brucie808 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Looks great. I think I saw that on eBay and YouTube before the guy sold it. It actually inspired me to build my own version (after I contacted the company who built it and didn't get a reply). It doesn't look as slick as yours.

MuzikTeechur Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 One could save weight by just having aluminum bars across to support the keyboards. No need for all that wood.

Losendoskeys Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks guys - it weighs about 20Kg and the shelves detach, so perfectly liftable into the band van.......

NewImprov Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Very cool! I've often though of building something similar. I feel that most modern keyboard rigs just don't look that good from the audience's perspective, if you're facing the audience, all they see is that back panels and a bunch of cables.

Yeah that was my feeling. I use a Novation controller keyboard connected to a V-Machine running VB3 which wouldn't have much prescence on stage. And actually sitting behind an organ-like stand makes it feel a bit more authentic and I think I play with a bit more attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
