Trying to figure out a particular Mellotron sound on the "Spring" CD

2002-12-30 by mellotrongirl <mellotrongirl@hotmail.com>

Maybe some of you have the tri-fold RCA Neon NE6 original, or the 
Arkana LP reish...but on the Laser's Edge LE 1012 version on CD, the 
lead Mellotron that comes in right around the 4:15 mark on the first 
song (The Prisoner Eight By Ten)...what sounds are on the tape? I 
went through all the Mark 2 sound clips and couldn't match it. The 
attack on each note as quickly as the keys were depressed is 
incredible...very responsive and right on cue with each keystroke. 
Brass? Woodwinds? Jeez, I can't make it out. Sounds like Tcheee Tchee 
Tcheee Dededee de dee Tchee Tchee

What ever it is, I want it in my next rack along with a few full 
choirs.
