External Recording Device?
Yes, I know that this is not a classical question; however, I was thinking that some of you might use the item I'm describing to record your pieces (and by the logic of the askers in this section, if I'm playing classical music, that makes it classical, yes? LOL). Anyway, in the piano studio on campus, there is a recording device on one of the pianos. It's about the size of a car CD player and mounts below the keyboard. I'm trying to figure out how to use it--just basic functions...record, R channel, L channel, etc. Please tell me that one of you has some experience with this!

Lauren C-B,
Haven't seen you in a coon's age... Glad to see you back.
My guess is that the "recording device" is for MIDI recording of piano performance, not for recording the audio of the instrument. There should be a sensor strip under the keyboard (you won't see it, unless it has LEDs within the strip that sort of glow between the keys.
It would be more helpful to know the manufacturer: common ones are by PianoDisc, Yamaha Diskclavier, QRS Pianomation, less common are the Baldwin Concert Master (I think that is what it was called) and some other off brands.
L and R channel is a split point probably fixed at middle C, but might be user adjustable.
Hope this helps.

I would need to know more information about it, like what kind of recorder (digital or analog tape), model, brand, etc. before I could tell you how to use it.
