Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

Hi all,

I would sure love to know what string set John Medeski (of Medeski,
Martin, & Wood) uses in his Tron. His Tron is all over his records
and live performances. He has worked his Mellotron into his act more
than anyone I know of. No, he's not a Prog Rocker.

Listening to the sample sounds on the Streetly website is not quite
like what I hear on records. I don't have access to a Tron to figure
out what I want. I figure I'll be using the string sounds more than
any of the other sounds, so that's really what I'm concentrating on.

Norm, please give me more of the "boring" details of the tape sets
you are getting from Streetly. The "slow strings" descripton you
gave sounds good. I'm thinking very seriously about getting a second
tape set.

Thanks,
Jay
