I admit that I am only saying it's string section because it sounds like
it, and because I can play that dreary bit of shit on my SS frame and it
sounds right. The giveaway that it's SS (IMO) is that everything from B0
downwards 'buzzes' with the double bass sound, whilst still having a lot
of oomph up top.
