Actually, Bernie, that's my mellotron you're listening to, Ibelieve. It was used for several of the libraries recordings when itwas back in England for a spot of fixing up in 2001.

It isn't. This is a new recording by Cyndee Lee Rule and post-datesyour Tron at Streetly by some years. It was recorded on my M400. ()Therecordings I did on yours were one-off single voice recordings. Therecording of Because for this demo has six tracks on it)

The original viola however (which is still on the site) wasrecorded on yours. FWIW, I think the old one has some weird acousticsgoing on there. It also has some even weirder editing where the startof the sounds are chopped off, I assume in the original masters.
