This Viola sounds goo to me:

Actually, Bernie, that's my mellotron you're listening to, I believe. It was used for several of the libraries recordings when it was back in England for a spot of fixing up in 2001.

It isn't. This is a new recording by Cyndee Lee Rule and post-dates your Tron at Streetly by some years. It was recorded on my M400. ()The recordings I did on yours were one-off single voice recordings. The recording of Because for this demo has six tracks on it)

The original viola however (which is still on the site) was recorded on yours. FWIW, I think the old one has some weird acoustics going on there. It also has some even weirder editing where the start of the sounds are chopped off, I assume in the original masters.
