Hi! I'm a Spanish fan of Mike Oldfield, and I have one question. Can anyone tell me the name of the instruments Mike say in "The Bell", from TB2, and "Finale", from TB2003? Which of them are correct?

The bell (TB2):
Grand Piano?
and pipe organ?
Glockenspiel?
Bass Guitar?
Vocal Chorus?
_ electric guitar?
Devenition effect?????'
Digital Sound Processor?
and Tubular Bells  :p

Finale (TB2003):
Grand Piano?
and pipe organ?
Glockenspiel?
Bass Guitar?
Double Speed Guitar?
Guitar????????
Mandolin?
Spanish Guitar and introducing Acoustic Guitar?
Glass Tubular Bells? :D

Regards

Devenition effect = The Venetian Effect

Oh, and before someone starts up the old discussion again, it's vocal cords ;)

On both TB 1973 [sorry, Toby et al., but there's absolutely no way at all I'm gonna call that 'the original' :D] and TB II, the MCs say 'Glockenspiel' with the correct German pronunciation (the instrument's name is German), i.e. '-shpiil'. But on TB 2003 Mr Cleese just says '-spil' in very plain English. :)

"Glockenshpiil," eh?

*updates his pronounciation*

Now people will be even more puzzled when I talk about it. :D
