Source: The tape is a 7.5 inch per second stereo recording.  The reel was played

on a modified Revox A77 reel-to-reel machine with a Reutelhuber custom designed and 

built tape head preamplifier incorporating 2003 era technology and components

including all metal film resistors, polypropelene coupling capacitors, and low ESR 

electrolytic supply bypass capacitors.  The resulting analog signal was digitized 

by a Mytek Digital 8X96 analog to digital converter using Steinberg Nuendo as the 

recording software and saved as a 24 bit 48 kHz wave file.  

Post processing and was done with Nuendo using the following Waves 

Plugins: X-Hum, Q10, LinEQ Lowband, C1 comp-gate and L3.

The file was dithered down to a 16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.

Tut Taylor Archive Reel #76 is labeled "Practice Tunes for Album", and features two 

separate circa mid-1960's recordings: 1) Tut playing with an unknown electric rhythm 

guitar player, and 2) Tut performing a number of Dobro tunes solo.  Many of these 

tunes are found on Tut's duet recording with Clarence White, "Tut and Clarence 

Flatpicking" (Tutlee TL1003; recorded in 1964 and released in 2003).  Refer to Archive 

Reel #74 for other tunes of similar vintage that were recorded with a new album in mind.
