Check it out on Wikipedia and All Music.  The sonic quality of the Chamberlin is much cleaner than previous albums.  He did use the mellotron on some songs, but listen carefully, especially the cellos.  With my new Mellotron/Chamberlin, you can switch back and forth between sounds and you can immediately tell the difference.

I will take a listen but when Mike recorded Seventh S, he still had a MKII and the M400 with the cello sound hadn't been released.  Of course he could have used an M300 with the early A tapes but his instrument had B tapes.  It's all so confusing and probably not worth it!

Sorry, but you're wrong.  Mike Pinder used the Chamberlain on 7th Soujourn.  Listen for the cellos on "Isn't Life Strange".  Mellotrn cellos are an octive below the Chamberlain cellos and at the lower end of the cellos, it switches to a "double bass".  Richard Chamberlain said that Mike bought a Chamberlain, but tried to re-wire it himself.  Richard said that they had to go in a fix the wiring because it was so messed up.

Just to be a pedant.......you won't find any mellotron cello on any Moodies recordings.

Best,

There are also some Mark II samples on ebay, which I think might be from some one on the list. --- In mailto:newmellotrongroup%40yahoogroups.com, lsf5275@... wrote: > > Who needs a real Mellotron now? > > _http://www.ebay.com/itm/MELLOTRON-SAMPLES-Violin-Choir-Strings-Recorded-wit > h-Neve-and-Neumann-u87-/150964280447?pt=US_Computer_Recording_Software&hash= > item23262c1c7f_ > (http://www.ebay.com/itm/MELLOTRON-SAMPLES-Violin-Choir-Strings-Recorded-with-Neve-and-Neumann-u87-/150964280447?pt=US_Computer_Recordin > g_Software&hash=item23262c1c7f) >
