No real violins at all.

It's all Chamberlin played as an orchestra or string section would

In addition to the standard Chamberlin sounds Gino and Joe also booked their own sessions with school students and made their own tapes. I received those when I bought the Chamberlin from them.

I believe Markus has a few of those.

The Nightwalker album has got to be one of the last times the Chamberlin was used before the 90's resurgence. The actual instrument used on the record was one of the last Chamberlins made if not the last Chamberlin made (1980 or early 1981).
The last Chamberlins have sounds Harry withheld from the public.

Title cut......PUT THE WEIGHT ON MY SHOULDERS....LIVING INSIDE MYSELF...most of the violins you hear on the whole album are Chamberlin (with maybe a couple of real violins doubling)
