Cello or clarinet?

Mark II 3 violins, I think I'm over my M300 obsession and nowadays prefer the Mark II sound

Combined brass?

If you don't have cello already, I would get that on Track A or C. With 3 violins next door, you can make use of track blending for one of the really classic and useful blends. MkII Combined Brass is also a good one for your third choice, again blending well with 3 violins. But I could also suggest the Cor Anglais/Oboe split. It really is a lovely voice in itself and quite nice blended with the strings. If you like really BIG moments, might I suggest Orchestra or Gothic or the Russian Choir? Outside of those Russkies, there really isn't much blending that can be done with the 3-violins.

Just my thoughts.

Have fun choosing!

Rick
