Mellotron 'organ' would be my guess.
BTW - Was Graham Bond's "Baby It's True" recorded
before Pinders' "Love And Beauty"?
It certainly would be interesting to hear how often
the ;tron was used as an organ substitute before it
became recognized for it's string sounds.

Supposedly the first song that Pinder used the 'tron was "Love and
Beauty" however, I have yet to identify the instrument that was the
lead in the short solo section of "Boulevard de La Madeleine". All
the pre-Hayward/Lodge Moodies stuff featured the piano but this
sounds more like an organ and a very distorted one at that but even
so, it doesn't sound quite like an organ....any thoughts?
