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'?

I think a "Composition" section is needed (like Graeme Edge has). 79.152.38.241 ( talk) 18:03, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
The text on this subject is not quite correct. For about 18 months, Pinder actually worked for Streetly (the manufacturer of the Mellotron) at their plant in Birmingham, though I'm not entirely sure what his function was (Quality Control?) When he returned, full-time, to the Moody Blues, he approached Streetly, hoping to acquire a Mellotron on the cheap. They declined, but directed Pinder to the Recreation Club at the Dunlop works on Tyburn Road, Birmingham, who had a Mellotron. Pinder duly acquired it, and modified it as per the rest of the text.

The FreeBMD entry here confirms his mother's maiden name was Lay. The current GRO source, however, which is needed only for this detail, is WP:PRIMARY. So I have replaced it with the obituary from The Guardian. Martinevans123 ( talk) 14:08, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
