Mellotronists

    This is why I like you guys so much. (Are ya feelin' the love?) I love the original flutes because of their crappy character. They sit in a mix incredibly well and they generally don't get along with well-tempered synthesizers so they force me to play guitars( another out-of-tune instrument) against them.

Ricky also penned the following:
"The 3 violins is a reasonably good sound and it's done its job over the year. I still like it and use it, but I find I'm losing it less and less. I would really like a new violin sound, though, personally. If the 3 violins makes grown men weep, imagine what would happen with an even better 3 violins! "

They're done and will be in the hands of the Streetly men within the month!  I used first chair NY Philharmonic players ( 3 good ones, not 3 old fossils) Think classic 3 violins vibrato and swell, m300 transparency, and modern recording techniques. Martin, the answer to your question is yes, they are in tune.  I have used a SampleCell version of these strings on a few adverts and even those have gotten excited responses from other composers.  I'm sure their conversion to Mellotron format will enhance them further.  Martin, do you require anything other than a DAT of these sounds, i.e EQ, compression etc? Let me know.

I have a bunch of new tunes with Medieval Woodwinds used in a very freaky manner.  Talk about a beautiful ugly sound....
