I play the piano, and I noticed that these two sheets are from the "action theme" not from the "transformation theme"....however I arranged the transformation theme for piano...the only problem is...how to send it!

I know this has been covered before, but I know that since she appears so much with her electric violin, I wanted to clarify something about the Zeta vs. the acoustic.

The instrument being performed on the "Outer Senshi" themes for Sailor Moon S is an acoustic/classical violin - that "signature Zeta violin tone" that you refer to sounds nothing like it. Vanessa-Mae rarely records with the Zeta Jazz violin. It has a distinct, creamy, and very synthetic texture, almost like a mix between a violin and a soprano saxophone.

There have been a few occasions in TV appearances on talkshows, award ceremonies, and music videos where she "mimes" with the Zeta or her Ted Brewer violin, but she almost exclusively records with her acoustic violin. I can see where people might think that the Jazz violin sounds like that, but if you listen to Jean-Luc Ponty on albums such as "Live at Chene Park", you'll know what I'm talking about.
