I'm never any good at keeping my early monosynths straight just from the sound... thanks for the correction. The Ondes Martenot is a very cool instrument indeed. Ah!

English composer Cynthia Millar was the talented player- one of the few Ondes masters in the world. For a quick reference try: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ondes_Martenot or http://www.thereminworld.com/news.asp?s=627 Bernstein used the instrument quite often to add a haunting quality to his scores, and with rare exception with great success. Enjoy!
