[sdiy] OT Tape play heads

[Adam Inglis]

I could find mention of Laurie Anderson’s “Tape Bow Violin”, but what on earth is a tape loop violin? Got any video?

The biggest issue is I am making loops on a stereo reel to reel and am playing them back on a stereo play head from a very old reel to reel that is mounted on the “violin” so alignment as I pass the loop across the fixed play head is an issue. I am asking if anyone has advice on this? Are there mono reel to reel play heads that have larger areas? Even info on how to determine efficiency of the dynamic range(?) of the output or old brands or if an old dictation machine(mono) might make a better donor. Thanks for the help. JoeF.
