During the heyday of the analogue reel to reel tape recorders in the 1960′s-70′s there were a good deal of manufacturers, but the Studer/Revox recorders were in all probability best known in the domestic market. Although no longer fabricated these machines are still exceedingly usual to enthusiasts.

The Willi Studer company was founded in 1948 and in 1949 their initial tape recorder, the Dynavox was developed, which was an instant success. In 1951 Willi Studer founded the company ELA AG with Hans Winzeler and the Dynavox was renamed and became the initial Revox tape recorder, the T26. The initial professional reel to reel tape recorder was likewise launched in this year, the prototype Studer 27, which went into mass production in 1952.

1955 saw the launch of the Studer A37 and Studer B37 and the introduction of the firstborn tape recorder of the widely known and esteemed Revox 36-series, the Revox A36. New models speedily followed and 1957, with an international sales network now in place, saw the introduction of the primary portable tape recorder, the Studer B30, and the new version of the A36 series the B36.

The last mono reel to reel tape recorder, the C36,started production a year later, which also saw Studer present the the firstborn mixing console, the portable Studer 69. Then, in 1961 the Revox D36, which was the initial stereo tape recorder, started production.

The legendary Studer J37 4-track tape recorder, which was endorsed no less by the Beatles using it for their 1967 album “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was firstborn introduced to the public in 1964. Transistorized reel to reel recorders came into being a year later.

Studer reel to reel players continued to rise in popularity within the domestic as well as the professional market with the continuing introduction of ever more models with modern designs including the the microprocessor controlled multitrack tape recorder Studer A800. However, the writing was on the wall for the analogue reel to reel tape recorders with the introduction of the A710 cassette recorder in 1982 and the firstborn digital productions in 1983.

Other models that have come out of the Studer/Revox factory that have proved usual and stood the test of time are the A77 with global sales of 400,000 and in all likelihood the best tape recorder of it’s class, the B77 and the professional version of it, the PR99, the A700 and older valve machines like the venerable G36.

Probably the best machine of it is type that Studer ever made was the last quarter-inch-format machine the company manufactured, the Studer A807 which was supreme both in terms of the audio electronics and the superb transport mechanism.

There are still numerous of these Studer/Revox reel to reel tape recorders still available and they come in all formats to suit all tastes and, even though they are not fictitious any more, they are rather easy to maintain, with without apparent effort available parts.

From their basi beginnings the company, and it is brand name Studer, has become synonymous for broadcasting and recording instrumentation and the name of Studer now carries with it a international reputation for quality and reliability and for 50 years Studer was the leader in analogue tape-recording technology.

A decent “you can’t hurt it” recorder
By Dr John Ficarro
I have a more pricey plastic Yamaha recorder at home, but this is the one we are using in an adult “advanced beginners” class. The sound is decent for a plastic recorder. This one is in the trunk of my car and is just taken out once a week for the class. It doesn’t clog very without apparent effort (something that seems more likely when you’ve been playing a good wooden one for awhile.) This is a good choice for a beginner recorder. And when I’ve heard it played by our instructor, the tone is actually rather good. Instead of the $2 one piece recorders, splurge . Being an acoustic guitar player who has to always be concerned when it comes to things like humidity, temperature and having to take outstanding care with an instrument, this is great. Nothing is going to harm it, doesn’t take up much space, and you may make music with it. Seriously, this sounds as good as a heap of plastic ones I’ve heard that cost $15-$30 dollars. The 4 star rating is based on comparably priced plastic recorders, and not the more pricey wooden ones.

Yamaha recorder
By Laura Eckels
I purchased these recorders to instruct to my second graders. In the past when I taught third grade, these same recorders were used for them. They are good quality for the students.

Good for the price
By Chris J. Albertson
This seems to have much better sound than the even for less plastic recoder it replaced. It is well made and has good sound for the price. (Key words here are “for the price”.) Don’t suppose it to compare to and “real” wooden instrunment. It does it’s intended occupation well – instructing kids the fundamental principle of music but I gave 4 not 5 stars because it still hast that “plastic” sound quality but I doubt any inexpensive plastic recorer would be better
