Hi everybody, As a harmonica student I feel the need to buy a small cassette tape recorder . I have a couple of reasons for that. 1. Without bothering my wife during the evening TV programs I want to listen to and record some songs in a local Blues program. 2. I also want to record my own playing in order to check for progress. 3. Some older harmonica music is only available on vinyl LP's. To study that music I need to work with copy tapes. 4. During vacations I want to keep practicing so I would need a small portable system to take with me. I have been looking in a Sony catalogue but nobody in the local audio store could give me practical information and advice about some of the items and specifications. I'm thinking of necessary items not always included in the cheaper recorders: 1. external mic input. 2. digital counter. 3. motor speed control. 4. automatic tape reversal. I think that everybody learning some music has this need and maybe more but i wonder if it is possible to find all the wanted criteria in 1 recorder. If there is a Best Bang for the Buck please tell me. Thanks in advance. Gervais
