RE: [Mellotronists] What tape set should I get?

2003-07-07 by David Jacques

I am going through the same thing. The tron I am getting in two weeks
has Choir, Violins, and Flutes. There is also a spare set of tapes with
unknown sounds on them. I am assuming that the spare set has the typical
violins, cellos, flutes set, with the original owner removing them for
the Choir, violins, and flutes. 
 
It is my understanding that the 3 violins was the original Mark II
sounds that Mike Pinder and Ian McDonald used. Same for the Mark II
brass. So, my dream set would be 3 violins, Mark II Flutes, and Mark II
Brass.

Hi all,

I'm in the final ordering stage of getting an M400 from Streetly and 
I need to decide on what tape set to order.  I've waited over a year 
to get to this point and now I'm stressing over what sounds to get.

I'm thinking Strings or 3 Violins, brass - but which one?
Voices or MKII flutes.

I would love to get some feedback on this important decision from 
some experienced Tron owners.

Also, anyone have any idea what I can expect to pay at Customs when I 
pick it up?

Thanks,

Jay
