Or how about a overdriven Hammond with bass pedal together!! and the 
last 3 seconds with the tremelo off. Yeah, that would work..?

I love the original flutes because of their crappy character. They 
sit in a mix incredibly well and they generally don't get along with 
well-tempered synthesizers so they force me to play guitars( another 
out-of-tune instrument) against them.

not 3 old fossils) Think classic 3 violins vibrato and swell, m300 
transparency, and modern recording techniques. Martin, the answer to 
your question is yes, they are in tune.  I have used a SampleCell 
version of these strings on a few adverts and even those have gotten 
excited responses from other composers.  I'm sure their conversion to 
Mellotron format will enhance them further.  Martin, do you require 
anything other than a DAT of these sounds, i.e EQ, compression etc? 
Let me know.
