mpolak21 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 First off, I love this song. Second, does anyone know what kind of keyboards are used on this? Thanks. I think there is a mellotron on it or something that sounds like one, that's a vintage sixties keyboard that was a precursor to the synth, most famously used on The Beatles' Strawberry Fields Forever. Very cool instrument. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've no idea what that keyboard might be. Just because I'm a wonk, I might suggest that the Mellotron, which plays a tape of an instrument playing a note when a key is pressed, is the precursor to the modern ROMpler, which plays a sample stored in ROM when a key is pressed.
