   I have a Zoom H2 which gave a decent rendition of the 64 foot pipes on   
   the Grande Orgue at Rouen cathedral using its internal microphones.   
      
   My problem wasn't with the recording, it was with finding a speaker that   
   could reproduce it. That may also be your problem, though phones do have   
   some 'orribke filtering when recording audio, and the analogue parts are   
   heavily optimised for understandable speech. Almost as bad as what they   
   do to videos and images.
