Not a dumb question at all, but perhaps a disappointing answer. To the best of my knowledge, cutters in the acoustic era were generally one-of-a-kind machines. It seems a little unlikely as I write this, though. Maybe a better way to say it is that they were made or commissioned by the recording companies that used them, and were proprietary? Hmm! What about people who did field recordings? Where did they get their equipment?buckettovsissors wrote:May sound a little dumb ,but I thought there must be hand cutters too, A grammphone cutter.
Anyone know any models?
A good question for Peter Dilg. He gave me an answer once, but I'm foggy as I write this.
