Pinder was one of the first notable musicians to use the Mellotron in live performance, relying on the mechanical skills garnered from his time with Streetly to keep the balky instrument in working order.

I don't know this word 'balky'. Is it perhaps a misspelling of 'bulky'?

In context, it must mean "unreliable; breaks easily." From "balk." But it isn't a great choice of a word. Carlo 22:13, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
