Subject:        	[Mellotronists] Jan Hammer/Mark V/Freeman String Synth

> I have been listening to THE FIRST SEVEN DAYS by Jan Hammer which is 
> due out as a remastered CD shortly...just wanted to state that I think 
> this is a fantastic piece of work and the Mark V Jan uses sounds 
> amazing.He also used a Freeman String Symphoniser...what a rarity.I 
> had read long ago that he ran the tron and the Freeman thru a Moog 
> String Filter to get a more wooden acoustic quality.Jan's use of 
> female voices is really nice as well.They don't sound like the stock 
> female tape.
>  Made me wonder just who had Mark Vs...there weren't that many 
> made.There was Jan,T.Dream,Moraz,McCartney,Pinder,Klaus Schulze I 
> believe had one,Neil Diamond's band,who else?Anyone?
>   Anyone in this group have or ever owned a Freeman?It had a nice 
> smooth tone compared to all the other string synths...wondered about 
> reliability stories or comments.                      Charles
