Yank?

"Some controversy exists about the origin of the Mellotron, but most of the accounts tell of Chamberlin associate Bill Fransen (sometimes described as his gardener, sometimes as an employee) bringing Chamberlin's design to England"....

"The royalty payments Chamberlin received from the Mellotrons helped Chamberlin to continue producing instruments in his garage, and later in an Ontario, California factory."

Are we to infer that Mr. Chamberlin was an American gentleman? If so, I think this should be stated in the first paragraph. --TheMadBaron 22:56, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Although I wasn't even born then, my understanding is that Harry, an American, invented the bloody thing, but it was UK musicians who embraced it and, due to trademark issues, renamed it the Mellotron.

Disambiguation

"Chamberlin" should be the disambiguation page; this should be back at "Chameberlin (music). Andy Mabbett 23:52, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Harry situation

This article appears to blend Chamberlin (Harry, the inventor) with Chamberlin (the Mellotron forerunner). When trying to link to the inventor, we get the instrument. When searching for Harry in Chamberlin disambiguations, he doesn't show at all.

I believe we need two separate articles, one for the instrument and another for the inventor.

sound sample

a sample of what it sounds like would be very helpful here, perhaps comprising a few of the sounds it can make. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.96.224.239 (talk) 21:11, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Chamberlin family...

There is mention of Harry's son Richard Chamberlin. I am wondering if Hal Chamberlin, author of Musical Applications of Microprocessors is also related to Harry Chamberlin. Surnames spelled identically (not "Chamberlain"). If anyone knows the answer to this, either way, I would appreciate knowing the information. I believe/recall Hal comes from North Carolina (although has lived in the Boston area since at least as far back as the 70s or 80s). At least that's where he received some of his electrical engineering education. I don't know where Harry had domiciled (oh, it says Wisconsin). Thanks. 71.169.181.28 (talk) 22:58, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disconnected

"These musicians" There is no mention of musicians in the previous section. I assume something was moved or deleted. Kindly provide a reference for "these". 108.204.18.240 (talk) 06:17, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds

The lead in has this: "there were also early drum machines produced and sold." But there is no mention of drum sounds in the section titled "Sounds." The model list has one prototype for a rhythm model. Kindly check and correct. 108.204.18.240 (talk) 06:30, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
