Tut Taylor Archive Reel #268 Mandolin Course Instructor Davie Dougherty Unknown Date 1/1/1985 Source: 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. 1. Tuning-(Exercises 1-32) Tut Taylor Archive Reel #268 contains the audio portion of a mandolin course. After tuning up, Davie Dougherty takes the aspiring mandolinist through 32 increasingly more complex fingering exercises. Since there is no music or tablature to accompany the reel, this might be good ear-training for the student. Tracks 1 and 2 are identical. --Mitchell Wittenberg
