Open Reel Ensemble is a Japanese musical group known for playing an open reel type tape recorder as an instrument. The members are Wada Yonaga, Yoshida Yu, and Yoshida Tadashi.
The group is regarded as “one ethnic musical assembly that came from a foreign country called the past”. With some help from modern technologies, they continue to cultivate new ways of playing this unusual instrument.
