John Medeski is a legendary jazz keyboardist who experimentally uses the tape speed to get extraordinary texture out of his OG mellotron.

He recently put out a great record called 'Mellotron Variations' with a few other artists that gives you a deep dive into its tonal qualities.

The modern digital mellotrons are so satisfying to play, especially with the instrument layering and mixing. Truly feels like like scoring an orchestra at your fingertips.
