A cassette adaptor is disclosed, in which a head holder unit comprises a head holder for holding a magnetic head and a dummy tape frame having dummy tape members, and pins of the dummy tape frame are inserted into holes of the head holder thereby to fasten each other. When a cassette holder is inserted into the cassette tape reproduction apparatus, a tape guide of the cassette tape reproduction apparatus and the dummy tape members engage with each other, and the magnetic head moves to a position in opposed relationship with the reproduction head of the cassette tape reproduction apparatus in response to this engagement.
