Definitely!Mk2 Flutes are brilliant with a bit of key click. My favourite?..... EltonJohns brilliant cover of Lucy in the sky with Diamonds. Wonderful!Actually,there's also Daniel which is equally as memorable.AndyK
 



 

Greetings Andy and gang,  Equally brilliant but relatively unknown
is Rod Argent of Zombies prominently using MK-II flutes in "Changes".
 

This is heard on LP/CD  "Oracle and Odyssey" . Same releaseas their
pop. hit "Time Of The Season."    The track justprior is also
replete with MK-II flutes,strings, and sounds like MK-II rock guitar
lightly sprinkled within.   Have a listen !
 

Thanks Martingle  Smythe  for sharing that info some yearsback .

Cheers, -- JK  (lawn still sprinkled with traces of snow andpine needles )
