I played the violin as soon as I got home but I couldn't sound it.
I watched a video of playing violin and imitated it, however,
I couldn't play it. I called my friend who l played the violin and
asked him how to play it.
"First, rub the rosin on the srings of your bow in your bow tuning
kit. Then, you can sound it. I will visit you afternoon and teach you
how to play it." he said.
"What time can you come?" I asked . "Till seven o'clock." he said.
I could sound it by rubbing the rosin. I thought that playing violin
was more difficult than playing the piano.
I slept very well when I listened to the music CD of violin by
SARAH CHANG.
My friend visited me just at seven o'clock. He asked me the reason
why I bought the violin and I answered him that I just wanted to
confirm how the sound by stereo must be close to the real sound.
I asked him to play it and he started to play "Twinkle Twinkle Little
Star" for the beginner's tune.
He played well and he taught me how to play it but I found it was
really difficult for me. We listened to the stereo sound to compare it
with the real sound.
He said, "This stereo sound is completely different from the sound by
my CD Cassete deck. How much is this type of stereo?"
"Around 100,000 yen only for amplifier, but first you should go to
Hi-Fi Do and ask the price to the manager."
The first try by "Jolly Club" is TEAC X-10R which is a very famous
open deck. Audiophile's ultimate desire was to get the same sound
quality as the master tape by record company and the deck with 2 track
38 cm could only make it.
I remembered that the open-reel deck with stereo by 4 track system was
most popular around 1973 and the tape machine was rapidly improved
from one moter to three motors with 3 heads. The tape speed from reel
to reel was 9.5cm, 19cm, and 38cm per second by analogue system.
These days FM broadcasting started and it made the open-reel deck
golden years. At that time, very expensive software tapes copied
master tape were released and it became popular in 1978.
TEAC deck adopted the same system for 4 track, 2 channel, 9.5cm and
19cm, 10 inches at largest. Most open-reel deck manufacturers do not
accept the repair and maintenance recently, however, it is grateful to
audiophiles that TEAC sitll accept repair and maintenance for their
open-reel decks.
The points for assembly and disassembly:
1) Pinch roller
2) Running condition of tapes
3) Installation of head
4) Amplifier board circuit
5) Tape counter
The result of assembly and disassembly will be continued in next
week's issue.
4.Restaurant information after the concert
We would like to introduce "Dining Table" as a restaurant to drop in
for dinner after the concert. It is close to Kouseinennkinkaikan in
Minami, Osaka.
