[CAUT] Fwd: Digital recorder was----- Kawai KG-2C hammer...

[Mark Schecter]

Hey, Dale, 

I have a very similar machine, also by Zoom, the H4N, and it's great. The built-in mics sound great, and you can plug in two more mics of your choice, or line feeds, and record four channels at once. MP3, CD-quality (16-bit/44.1kHz), and better-than-cd (24-bit/96kHz) recorded to SD card. Multi-track overdubbing, too. I think yours is stereo-only, which should be great for your purpose. Here's a link: http://www.sweetwater.com/mobile/detail.php?itemid=H4N

Not suggesting you should change your order, but to help other shoppers ... 8-)

Consider measuring mic position (x, y, and z plane), plus piano position relative to walls, for repeatable results. Can make a huge difference in recorded sound.

I've been looking for something that does a nice job of capturing the sound of instruments I've rebuilt, that is very portable, and that doesn't break the bank.  I'd be interested in any recommendations, especially from someone with experience in what it is we're trying to record.

I've never met the man, but knowing you, I can only imagine what an important person he was to you.  I know you've had a difficult couple of years, and I just wanted you to know you're thought of here in the Midwest.
