I picked up my SONY PCM-M10 today. First impression is that it's very nice. Well-built and nicely designed. All the buttons and switches feel good in use.
Here are a couple of quick recordings.
The piano is an old (1923) Heintzman, a small (5'11") grand. It's creaky, and also hasn't been tuned yet for the change of season.
So my piano's out of tune, and my playing's rusty, etc....
Recorded at 24/96, internal mics, low mic sensitivity setting, manual record, level @ 3.0.
Level may be too low.
The M10 is set on the piano's lowered music stand, facing in towards the strings.
For one recording, the top is down. For the other, it's part way up -- on the half-stick.
