Take Ntr/Mssion and Faint off the list, and that's it. Ntr/Mssion is all piano, I think the liner notes on that were just copy-pasted from Opening. There's a quote from Mike in the From the Inside book (I think?) mentioning something about strings on BTH and Faint, but if they recorded them for Faint, they ended up not using them, the ones that appear on the album are programmed.

 

Also, The Rising Tied had live strings on Remember the Name, Feel Like Home, Cigarettes, and Slip Out the Back.

I'm pretty sure the 'strings' on In Between are played on an E-Bow.

No. An E-Bow doesn't sound anything like a traditional stringed instrument like a violin, it's just an infinite sustain device for the guitar (which is meant to sound like what would happen if you played a guitar with a violin bow, a la Jimmy Page).

 

Pale?

Those definitely sound like programmed/keyboard strings.

No, but you can put effects on your guitar to make it sound like a cello. And I'm pretty sure I can hear Brad sliding his fingers up and down the strings.

I hear those sliding noises too, I actually wondered about that when the album first came out, but the band was pretty up-front about any kind of unusual instrumentation they used on other songs on that album, and they talked about the sparse instrumentation on that song in particular numerous times ("consisting of little more than Mike's vocal and a bass line" was the description of the seed in the MTM booklet). I think if it was guitar, Brad would choose to play that part live instead of the simple harmonic line in the choruses, as it's a much more dominant part. If anything, it might be a copy of the bass part that comes in during the second verse that's been run through some effects to make it sound synth-y. It's always possible that they just pasted those sliding noises into the song too, as you can hear a loop of a few of them over the last note of the song.

I think someone should ask LP about that. I've been wondering about it for a while.
