Yesterday I bought a ARP solina string ensemble (Mike used it on Ommadawn and later on some various recordings). I think it's from 1975/76 and is still in good condition cosidering its age. And of the course the nice warm string sounds. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Dave Parry Group: Members Posts: 39 Joined: July 2002 Posted: May 28 2003, 18:35 Hey that's cool!     I got mine  6 years ago and I was very inspired to write some songs on it.  It's probably the most famous string ensemble ever made.  If you write any music with it please put it on the internet!  I have some tracks of the solina at http://www.mp3.com/david_parry/ Check out "the shorehouse" and "magic carpet" -------------- Life is confusing Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 29 2003, 09:59 Shure is a microphone. But I play with the word "sure" and "shure". And yes, I also want a Minimoog.. have to cough it up though. Don't have that kind of money yet. But I also want the Roland SH-2000. Dave, thanks for your inspiration. But I'm not really good in composing songs. I'll try to get better, but I love to play it. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 30 2003, 12:56 No no no, don't be sorry. Were all having a bit of fun here. Actually, my brother recorded a song yesterday with my Solina, and it worked well, so I will record a sample soon. (maybe Ommadawn?) -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top
