Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] String sound on "Never Comes the Day"

From: Bruce Daily <pocotron@yahoo.com>

Hi Tom-
   I'm very sure Pinder used the M300A 2 Violins on "Never Comes the Day".  I have it on one of my frames, which it matches.  Sounds like he doubled it by recording on in the left ch, and also on the right.
   An alternate choice might be the "Classic Strings".  You get the 2 M300A violins with the 3 MK2 violins, a total of 5 violins!!
   The exchange rate dropped briefly below $1.50 this morning.  I say it can happen again.

While the subject of ordering tapes is fresh on the mind I'll risk the
usual rounds of Moodies bashing to ask a pressing question. Can anyone
tell me what solo violin sound is used by Pinder on "Never Comes the Day".
I'm guessing that it is from the M300. But is it StringB or a solo string
that I don't know about? I'd like to have it on a rack along with a good
viola and the Tenor Sax.
