Is That A Violin I'm Hearing?

I may be decades late to the party here, but I just recently heard what sounds like a violin playing at the end of the album The Dark Side Of The Moon. After the male voice, after the heartbeat fades out. It sounds like it was recorded about 60 dB down from the album level. Had to turn the volume up very high. Just a few seconds of playing. My apologies in advance if this has already been discussed ad nauseum...

To make it perfectly clear, my experience of hearing violins is not related to the verse when ABC sings the song When Smokey Sings and the lyrics are..."when Smokey sings, I hear violins..."
