I think you will find it difficult these days to find someone who can fart in tune for 8 seconds over 3 octaves! There was a french chap in the last century that probably could have managed it, but he is dead.

To quote  "The Goodies" ( probably a mystery to the US tronists )

Blowing off, it's a gas,

Blowing off, it's a trip.

It's a sin to hold it in, so let it rip!

Some folks like to hiccough,

Some folks like to cough,

But me, ( insert fart ) I blow off !

Believe it or not that was banned by the BBC, Oh happy innocent days!

Trust me, Mark, if it comes out of a Mellotron it sounds like a Mellotron. I imagine farts played on a Mellotron would sound like Mellotron Farts. Mike? Anyone?

 

The new String section is just that... new. But it has a very Mellotrony quality. It sound really great and is just part of the ever expanding Mellotron sound palette. You can have all of the great classic sounds, but there are also some really great new sounds that fit right in.

I like the new string section but it doesn't sound like a Mellotron. My next tape set will be 8 voice choir, brass, and old string section without cello.
