Tascam 388 Studio 8 1/4″ 8-track recorder with integrated mixer
| July 20th, 2012This is our fav demo machine–the design is intuitive and the narrow format keeps tape costs low.
The Church of 388 convenes here. These machines are quite popular in the San Fran scene.
We were fortunate enough to acquire this machine is mint condition. It belonged to a suave*, easy-listening cruise ship pianoman. He used it infrequently and kept it in the same climate controlled space as his grand pianos. Even when he did press this deck into service, one can only image he operated it with an uncommonly delicate pianissimo touch.
* I mean, Ricardo ‘Mr. Roarke’ Montalbán would come off sounding like Ron ‘Arnold Horshack’ Palillo next to this cat.
