The tuning on the B is a bit weird and needs to be tweaked as you go. Of the three I like the Section - has a very smooth sound that is great for background . The A is somewhat thin if you don't get the reverb just right.

Thanks very much Tony.

I actually used the Mark II 3 violins for this piece. The tapes came with the machine and are probably at least 20 years old but not the original tapes the machine was shipped with. The tapes aren't in great shape, well the tron isn't either, and I was surprised at how good they can sound.

Until I owned a tron I always favoured the M300a violins, try as I might I can't get the sound I want out of them, I firmly believe on no evidence whatsoever that you need an M300 to play them on. I am beginning to prefer the sound of the 3 violins.
