I've played about with this a while - the bass accordion is actuallyprety weedy. If you insist on playing Genesis (and there is no goodreason to do so) then either try the St Johns on the bottom end (∗) oruse String Section. It's much heavier and doesn't have that 'you coulddrive a truck through the gaps in this noise' feel about it.

(∗) "Trying the St Johns on the bottom end" is actually Cockney rhymingslang.

Bruce,

I have the Russian Choir and I like it a lot. I've only played the
St John's Wood Church Organ on the M-Tron and it sounds very good,
so I can only imagine how much better it sounds on a Mellotron. Does
the Watcher mix sound like an even mix of the MkII 3 Volins and MkII
Combined Brass?
