Mellotron 'organ' would be my guess.
BTW - Was Graham Bond's "Baby It's True" recorded before Pinders' "Love And Beauty"?
It certainly would be interesting to hear how often the tron was used as an organ substitute before it became recognized for it's string sounds.

So perhaps a mind immeasurably superior to mine can answer this:
Supposedly the first song that Pinder used the 'tron was "Love and
Beauty" however, I have yet to identify the instrument that was the
lead in the short solo section of "Boulevard de La Madeleine". All
the pre-Hayward/Lodge Moodies stuff featured the piano but this
sounds more like an organ and a very distorted one at that but even
so, it doesn't sound quite like an organ....any thoughts?
