[edit] 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)

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.

[edit] Disambiguation

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

[edit] 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.
