Rock music aficionados are probably at least vaguely familiar with a keyboard called the Mellotron, a 1960s-era instrument apparently used by the Beatles and others to produce the mind-bending sounds of more psychedelic times. (Blogma had never heard of it, as you might have guessed.)

So we were particularly impressed upon learning of a new version that was built with 14 cassette Walkman players. Bonus points for the retro look.
