It sounds really fantastic. The old cello sound is one of those classic sounds you want to have, but is really in a pretty awful state as far as actual playability is concerned. It doesn't feature in much that I do really because of that. The sound is great but it's all over the map. (Though the fact that Noel G played it microtonally flat throughout Wonderwall has maybe more to do with his tin ear than any failings on the part of the Mellotron)

I don't have such problems unless I'm using the MkII solo cello. Most of the time it does my head in. Sometimes it sounds ok. Mostly not. Next time I retape this frame I'll definitely go for a newly-recorded cello sound.
I have 'relative pitch' days and 'hypercritical' days, depending on whether I've had to tune a Rhodes or some such thing. Especially the last octave or so. Hmm... PLINKY...
