Good god. :-)

There's a mate of mine who came all the way down from Aberdeen to play
on my Mellotron. When I loaded up the I-McD flutes he started playing
something that I ∗vaguely recognised∗. He told me that this was the
sample I had on Merb's website and that he had taken the time to learn
it!

It doesn't surprise me - I'd be loathe to buy set of tapes without any
idea of what they sounded like. (Although I confess I more or les did
this with the Russian Choir) Seriously; I again restate the begging
notice. If anyone has tapes that are ∗unusual∗ for which there are no
samples (or even entries) in the below-mentioned website then get in
touch with me.
