I own a portable Marantz with decent on-board mics that does the job. I
also own a slightly bigger Marantz (still portable) with on board mics
but that I connect proper mic to and use as my studios recording
device. Very, quiet mic preamps. Happy with both.
The best thing in both units is that you can override the auto gain
(don't even know if the bigger unit has auto gain, the bane of dynamic
playing).

I have a Tascam DR-1 and it has given me years of loyal service. It
gives a very clean, natural sound, has good build quality and the
original battery still provides outstanding autonomy. This model has
obviously been superseded but there are several others on offer. Try
to see one in the flesh before purchase to check on the robustness
of the models of the present range. Tascam have been in business for
years, notably providing equipment to professional recording studios
and radio stations but I suspect the cheaper models cut corners on
solidity.
Best,
