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: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sweetwater.com/mobile/detail.php?itemid=H4N">http://www.sweetwater.com/mobile/detail.php?itemid=H4N</a></div> <div><br> </div> <div>Not suggesting you should change your order, but to help other shoppers ... 8-)</div> <div><br> </div> <div>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. <br> <br> ~ Mark Schecter</div> <div><br> On Mar 5, 2012, at 7:21 AM, Dale Erwin <<a href="mailto:erwinspiano@aol.com">erwinspiano@aol.com</a>> wrote:<br> <br> </div> <div></div> <blockquote type="cite"> <div><font color="navy" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif" size="2"><font color="navy" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif" size="2"><br> Hi Mario<br>   Here's a re-send of the info.<br> <br> <div style="clear:both"><font color="royalblue" size="1"><b><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, Serif"><font color="black"><font color="mediumblue" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif">Dale Erwin RPT-</font><br> </font></font></b></font><font color="royalblue" size="1"><font color="blueviolet"><b><font color="black" size="2"><font size="1"></font></font></b></font></font><font color="darkgreen"><span style="font-style: italic;"><b><font size="1"><font color="black"><font color="blueviolet"><font color="black"> <font color="black">Mason & Hamlin</font>/Steinway/<font color="black">U.S pianos</font><br> </font><font color="mediumblue">Pre-hung Ronsen hammer sets/Abel parts</font></font><br> </font>Sitka Soundboards & Supplies<br> <font color="black"><a target="_blank" href="http://WWW.Erwinspiano.com">WWW.Erwinspiano.com</a></font><br> <font color="crimson">209-577-8397</font><br> <font color="darkgreen"></font></font></b></span></font><tt><tt><font color="darkgreen"><br>  </font><br>   <font size="2"></font></tt></tt><br> <br> </div> <br> <br> <div style="font-family:arial,helvetica;font-size:10pt;color:black">-----Original Message-----<br> From: Dale Erwin <<a href="mailto:erwinspiano@aol.com">erwinspiano@aol.com</a>><br> To: bill <<a href="mailto:bill@a440piano.net">bill@a440piano.net</a>><br> Sent: Sat, Mar 3, 2012 5:44 pm<br> Subject: Re: [CAUT] Kawai KG-2C hammer shank-flange options<br> <br> <div id="AOLMsgPart_1_1c8b5ade-5eec-485b-97de-61dd7fb7a9c1"> <font color="navy" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif" size="2"><font color="navy" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif" size="2"> <div style="font-family:arial,helvetica;font-size:10pt;color:black"> <div id="AOLMsgPart_1_e187bdbc-e748-4bfd-921f-02aa3eaafd93"> <font color="navy" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif" size="2"><font color="navy" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif" size="2"> <div style="font-family:arial,helvetica;font-size:10pt;color:black"> <div id="AOLMsgPart_1_9b95a61a-40d2-4ab8-826a-2f01fa1fc6ee"> <font color="navy" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif" size="2"><font color="navy" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif" size="2"> <div style="font-family:arial,helvetica;font-size:10pt;color:black"> <div id="AOLMsgPart_1_bc56aa26-1f4f-4afc-8795-7806e356e96b"> <font color="navy" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif" size="2">Hi <font color="navy" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif" size="2">Bill<br>  The unit is called an Hm-2.  It is available from B & H in N.Y.
