The Mellotron Group

Hi Bernie-
   Mine spans the keyboard, it is not the split.  Yeah, it's a little thin at the bottom, but it's good.  MK2 Brass or Brass B would've given a Bigger Bottom (shades of SpinalTap!).
   After living with my 'tron for a while, I've started to feel that a recording of a loud, blaring, razzy(?) brass section might be great ...with tubas, too!  I don't want to start something, though.  Hey, sustaining an 8-second loud note might make some of the players fall over and die.

Bruce,

How do you like the 2 Trumpets/2 Trombones? Is it a split or do both instruments run the full 3 octaves -1? How's the bottom end? I have the Pinder CD samples and M-Tron Pro, both of which have a trumpet/trombone sound, but I don't know if it's the same one that you have; both sound kind of thin at the bottom.
