Originally developed in the early 1960s and built in Birmingham (England) the Mellotron is an electro-mechanical, polyphonic keyboard. It superseded the Chamberlin, which was the world's first sample-playback keyboard. The heart of the instrument is a bank of parallel linear magnetic audio tapes, which have approximately eight seconds of playing time each. Playback heads underneath each key enable the playing of pre-recorded sounds.
