Subject: Re: Mike Pinder Mellotron CD-Rom Question

#328 which I got in 1972 came with cello,violins,flute. The solo viola IS on the Pinder CD,
at least it is on mine.:)
The 400 violins were, I believe, standard MK2 violins but re-eq'd a bit for the 400
circuitry. Martin could tell us for sure. Supposedly the MK2 violins were actually the
original Chamberlin violin sound...the only sound that Mellotronics kept from the
Chamberlin 600s Fransen brought to the UK.
