The M300 Strings on the Pinder CD are mislabeled. They aren't the 
M300A 2 Violins and M300B Solo Violin, but M300 Cello and M300 Viola 
(at least that's what the samples are labeled and that's what 
they sound like). The M-Tron has 2 versions each of the M300A and 
M300B. One set sounds better than the other and they both sound 
similar to the M300A and M300B I have on a Streetly tape frame.
