[CAUT] Digital recorder.

[McNeilTom at aol.com]

Hi, Dale (and Mark), et al -
 
Yes, the Zoom H4N is one of the models I alluded to with real mic inputs  
('combi' XLR/TRS connectors in this case).  If you're ever going to plug a  
separate  mic into your recorder, this would be a good choice.  And  well 
worth the $300, vs $200 for the H2N.

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:

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.

Hey Dale,  


I'm curious what the recording device is.  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.


Thanks,
Bill


BTW, I'm not real good at social responsibility at times, but I wanted  you 
to know I've been thinking of you and the passing of your Dad.  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.

FWIW,... here is just  one comment from a recent client.
I'm hoping to have some  recordings of pianos with differetn varietys of 
the Ronsen hammers  installed in them. I am waiting delivery for a portable 
hand held digital  recorder recommended by an engineer on recent visit from a 
S.F. recording  studio.
Thanks- Dale

I keep meaning to write to thank  you for the work you guys did on my 
Baldwin
action back in September  (Ronsen Weickert  felt) hammers, shanks, flanges, 
capstans, etc.).
Together  with the expert regulation by Mark Schecter the work you did has
left  me with a very special SF10 which I look forward to playing every  
day.
I hope we can arrange some similar transformation for my 1927 B in  the not
too distant future.”
