291 – Failed Cassette Loop

I planned on creating a longer tape loop and have drawing inspiration from Marcus Fischer, Jared Smyth, and David Andree’s cassette loop designs.

Here’s a little sample of it:

Anyways, I’m not giving up on getting a longer loop. I just have to get the tension and the spindle placement right.
