I've played about with this a while - the bass accordion is actually prety weedy. If you insist on playing Genesis (and there is no good reason to do so) then either try the St Johns on the bottom end (*) or use String Section. It's much heavier and doesn't have that 'you could drive a truck through the gaps in this noise' feel about it.

(*) "Trying the St Johns on the bottom end" is actually Cockney rhyming slang.

Bruce,

I have the Russian Choir and I like it a lot. I've only played the
St John's Wood Church Organ on the M-Tron and it sounds very good,
so I can only imagine how much better it sounds on a Mellotron. Does
the Watcher mix sound like an even mix of the MkII 3 Volins and MkII
Combined Brass?
