Abstract: A magnetic head can be made by a first step of butting projection end faces of a pair of magnetic cores, each of which is previously machined into a convex shape, through a magnetic gap member; a second step of forming notches which reach a winding groove, at the butted projection end faces of the magnetic cores by an electric discharge machining process, thereby regulating a track width; and a third step of filling, under heat treatment, glass into grooves at two sides of the pair of convex magnetic cores and the notches. When the magnetic head is used, a magnetic recording/reproduction apparatus which is suitable for high density recording such as a digital VTR is provided.
