Or how about a overdriven Hammond with bass pedal together!! and the
last 3 seconds with the tremelo off. Yeah, that would work..?

I love the original flutes because of their crappy character. They
sit in a mix incredibly well and they generally don't get along with
well-tempered synthesizers so they force me to play guitars( another
out-of-tune instrument) against them.

transparency, and modern recording techniques. Martin, the answer to
your question is yes, they are in tune. I have used a SampleCell
version of these strings on a few adverts and even those have gotten
excited responses from other composers. I'm sure their conversion to
Mellotron format will enhance them further. Martin, do you require
anything other than a DAT of these sounds, i.e EQ, compression etc?
Let me know.
