It's like rehearing all the childhood soundtracks from cartoons and old documentaries.

[Yamil]

Man... This feels like old movies. Such a classic, magical sound.

[marlin]

Lisa has created what is arguably the best demonstration of the Mellotron I've ever seen! Nice job, Lisa!

[maerzenwellcome]

All the eerie sounds and music from early Columbo-episodes in just one single instrument - fantastic! And the lady looks like from exact the same era...

[czpertz]

Probably one of the most melancholic musical instruments of all time.

The mellotron just sounds so incredibly evil. It's amazing.

[Uncanny_Valley]

This is one of the few times I’ve been felt compelled to comment simply because of the playing. I am now realizing the last time i did so, it was also Lisa Bella Donna doing the playing. Simply fantastic!!!!

[gaggleworld]

Vibraphone/strings and harpsichord/strings so unbelievably gorgeous

[JulioAvalos]

The first thing that comes to mind is the Twilight Zone and old cartoons. So heartwarming.

[jsilence]

I love how you can mix one instrument with another.

I've been fascinated by mellotrons rescently for having the ability to sound extremely nostalgic despite me not even being alive at the time those sounds were recorded. Cool stuff.

I have an M400 I found next to a dumpster in the early 90s (No joke: it was in rough shape, but I've since had it refurbed-$$$...) and although I love it (and it never leaves my studio...), my 4000D mini is eminently more practical, has superior fidelity and an unmatched scope of tones (due to the Chamberlin sounds, etc.), and is actually usable for gigs...!

[matthewpaluch]

King Crimson,
etc. freakin' CLASSIC!

[ocnb]

Love her smile when she's playing - having one of these must be pure joy!

[davedoesyt]

Every kids film from the 70s and early 80’s just flooded in to my head

[csilt]

I love all things analog and typically don't like a lot of digital products but this is an exception. I guess it helps that its using 24 bit uncompressed samples. I love the design with the displays and pitch and the ability to mix between two sounds. This is truly a modern masterpiece very much worth its price tag.

[Meddled]

If only Yamaha made a Mellotron Reface.

[silverxstar]

I love all of the different sounds this instrument can make! I also love this demo, and the enthusiasm of the player (as well as the awesome outfit, jewelry, and nails lol).

[alexcaminiti]

Wow. This video really sold me. I never thought anything digital could sound like the real thing. Great playing and excellent to see her wobble the pitch to show off how natural and real it sounds. I am probably soon to be having less money.

[dannybrazen]

that beautiful slow vibe sound at 3:32! stunning!
