Re: [Mellotronists] Strings Preference, Flute question too

2007-06-14 by tronbros@aol.com

Here are some points to take into consideration:
 
The MKII Violins are the M400 Violins.  The M400 version was sweetened  to 
make it more appealing but this can be done on a desk so go with the MKII  
version and the full (joke) bandwidth.  Mitigate from that point.  You  can 
subtract but never add.
 
MKIIs had hi impedance heads and a valve preamp.  The combination of  those 
TWO give you the sound. The M400 has low impedance heads to cut out  the aerial 
effect and a transistor line/preamp. The combination of those TWO  alters the 
sound.
 
The M400 flute is the MKII flute but with the volume raised on the bottom  
notes as they were incredibly quiet in the first incarnation.
 
We sell 99% more MKII Vs than the M400 mix.
 
Best,
 
Martin
