The Mellotron Group

Hi again-
   Looked at the larger image of the tape reels.  The second voice indicates "string sec" for the last voice.  If you account for wobbly marker writing on the reel, the second voice may be "F. S. Choir" or Female Solo Choir.  But I may be wrong.
 
   'nuff said

Hi all-
   I think that the term "Master Tape" may be a bit misleading.  3/8" tapes exist only on Mellotrons (and within the manufacturing process).  The reel has writing that indicate 2 sections of recordings.  It is probably 2 seperate sounds to fill 2 frames.   I do wonder what the "T.T. Choir" is, though.
   Isn't this the way Mellotron Archives produced their tapes (on large reels)?

A melltron 'master tape' (on reels, not a tape frame) is being auction in the current VEMIA auction.

I'm intrigued as to its provenance...
