The point I  was trying to make between the Grand Piano and Mellotron 
samples was that   
the frequency  response and the velovity at which the string is struck is 
what makes the  piano more difficult to sample than the playback of a  
string  instrument (for example) that is played back through a very limited 
response  system such as the Mellotron.  However it is the lack  
of response  that gives it it’s unique character and made the Mellotron the 
fascinating  instrument it is. 


Actually the mellotron is capable of great frequency  response.  It's the 
old recordings that are mitigated.  We have  put fresh recordings through it 
and get up to 16k back.  Not many  people know that!
