A Studer C37 is for sale in UK

 


The Studer C37 is a professional-quality, valve-based, stereo (2-track) machine, on which the J37 4-track was built, both used extensively on many recordings by The Beatles at Abbey Road Studios. Manufactured in Switzerland by STUDER, known for its tank-like build quality, modular design, and exceptional sound. 

Provenance: This specific C37 master recorder was acquired by Morgan Studios in the late 1960's and was eventually bought by a sound engineer in the 1980's. I acquired this machine in the late 1990's. In 2019 a professional nut and bolt restoration was undertaken by Neil Perry at Raw State Audio in Box, Wiltshire (ref. Real World Studios). 

This short video shows my C37 in action last year (2025)

The machine is mounted in a cabinet with wheels (see photos) plus instruction manual and a set of spare valves.
