Olympus VN-120

Pros: Adjustable recording quality, built in microphone, works good for the beginning accordionist.

Cons: You have to erase things you don't want manually.

Cons: Not suitable for music at all, some poor features, annoyingly turns on by itself.

Pros: Easy to use, functional, portable, durable, good battery life

Pros: Small, works well.
