Tut Taylor Archive Reel #185 features a bluegrass jam session 

with Tut Taylor and unknown others. There is a particularly 

fine assortment of bluegrass gospel near the end of the reel. 

Identifying the musicians is made difficult on this tape as there 

are sharp edits between songs, eliminating chatter that might be 

helpful in this regard. 





The tape is a 3.75 inch per second mono 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 by David Avery with Nuendo using the following Waves Plugins: Q10, X-Hum, S1 Stereoimager and L2. The file was dithered down to a 16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.
