Hi there!

Does anyone know who played flute for the original 
Mellotron 'Strawberry Fields Forever' flute sound?

I've read that it was ace jazz flautist/saxophonist Harold McNair, 
can anyone confirm this?

Best wishes

Philip

Well, it certainly wasn't Ray Thomas...except for maybe one certain 
note.

Poor ol' Ray Thomas... always gets a slagging when all he wants to do 
is play flute "man!" and trim his tash!!!


Which note would this be?

:)
