Thanks Mike. I love the new Cello tape by the way! I am certainly including
that on my order.

I have a set of six track tapes made up for me by Streetly so I could 
demo them. They play like a charm. You obvously have to have a long 
think about what tape sets you want to place on them, bu (from 
experiments with a sampler) mixing the new 'Louise Davis' cello with sad 
strings is a wonderful combination to start from.
