Hi Owen

 

Have you been able to discern and more or less recreate whatPinder is playing in “The Word” or do you know if there’s a

version out there with just the tron part?

I think that the deepest sound you're hearing on the E-B-E bits might be (shockhorror) a
real Double Bass (bowed). There's a strong bow-sound ahead of the last but oneoccurrence.
... Although the 3 violins sound like they're half-speed ...

Moodies used real cellos and d-bass occasionally back then. Bass flute can beheard on
other recordings too.
