She does use mellotron. I know 'cause she did a live gig for the French
Music Video Network in Montreal this past June and used my FX Console.
Sadly, I couldn't be there and had to ask Pierre Veilleux to handle the
mellotron wrangling duties. They started out only wanting to use 3
violins and cello, but that soon changed when they heard what else was
on the menu...
