Oh  yeah...forgot about the church organ.

Q: did Pinder ever use the French  accordian?

Mike said that he used it on "For My Lady".  I have yet to  corroborate 
that on #134 as I have done with "Peak Hour".  While  respecting Mike, he has 
made some contradictory statements in various  interviews, e.g., in Ross 
Mehan's recently released documentary, Mike stated  that he used only Strings, 
Brass, Flute, and Church Organ (likely true only  on stage - I have no 
personal recollection of hearing anything other than those  sounds in concert), 
while the recordings reveal that he used Italian Accordion,  Vibes, Tenor Sax 
(quite often) & half-speed Brass (although the latter, I  believe, was not 
an available sound and likely studio trickery).
