Anyway  my thoughts are:

1) Could you play the string part on a tron with  all
the slides?
2) Would it sound better or worse?
3) What string  parts on well known songs would sound
better on a tron?

some more  examples

Ride a white swan by T-rex ( another group favourite  I
would expect)
Need your love so bad Fleetwood Mac, obviously not  the
original Little Willie John version.

PS is the  correct term for slides on a tron pitch dives?



I recently saw a short video that Mattias did of a Mellotron playing  
Chamberlin (Pedal) Steel Guitar. The pitch knob was very effective in adding to  the 
realism of the sound. So I think pitch sweeping is the more accurate  term.
