Paging Al Grundy

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

I keep hearing raves about Al Grundy, but I can't find the cat. Can anyone tip me off as to his whereabouts? Cutterhead.com does not exist anymore.

I found him!

He gave me permission to post his cellphone. I'll put it in the services section.

Very nice guy....used to be the president of Audio Engineering Society. His business is International Cutterheads.

I fear I talked his ear off a bit, and asked pretty inane questions. He mostly deals with very high end stuff (Neumann heads).

He recommends the AES Anthology of Disc Recording as a resource book.

Al was a lot of help to me along with Chris Muth from Dangerous music while setting up my neumann.

Al also rebuilt my cutterhead quickly after i messed it up.

Al Grundy is great. He was president of AES and founder of The Institute for Audio Research in NYC where students were required to cut a side on the lathe up until the 1980's. He is the lathe man.
And Chris Muth was at Sterling and also very helpful.
