The Mellotron Group

Well, nearest I can figure is Bb on a violin is akin to 3rd position on a guitar. Follow me now.? 3rd position in ballet places one foot in front of the other, much like the song in Rankin/Bass' "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" when the dentist-to-be elf, Hermey decides to exude some confidence, which he sorely lacks being such a misfit. Since General Electric produced advertisements using characters from this program, it can be assumed there was some sort of contractual arrangement with the elves, particularly the "Tall Elf", who got cut out of a lot of acenes in the original production, but went on to make a career in Vegas doing cabaret.? Sadly, he was found in bed with the the mayor's wife and dissappeared quite suddenly after that.

Well this probably won't mean much to you Frank but I can't explain it any other way, it sounds like 3 Sweeps ( as in Sooty and Sweep ) singing in unison, and it's not just my tron, ?I can here it in recordings and I don't think it's my ears!. I think Mike mentioned the odd tonal quality of B flat it in a previous post although he didn't describe it in this way.

Why does it sound like that? The other b flats have a similar quality to a 
  lesser degree, is it some characteristic of the violin itself?

?Sound like what?
