Of course I could be totally wrong (the CYA, Frank) but I don't know of any other instrument that could have made those sounds in '68.

I'm hearing tape replay cello at 0:53-1:07 and cello + strings 1:34-1:47 on One In a Million especially the last four notes in each example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsR1h1w-N1g

Compare that to the real cellos on Thursday Morning from the same album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOt4eqtUuLM

I'm also hearing tape replay vibes that can't be MkII on North Meadow at 1:40-2:30: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4AQj8WvcOs
M300 vibes are the"slow vibrato" variety according to Samagaio's book.

It would be great to hear what you and other members of the group think! Hessel?
