Yes, Tascam does make some pretty nice hardware. But keep in mind: the "cheaper" (<200 Euro) models lack the possibility to plug in external mics. That's fine for concert recordings but if you want to do a semi-professional solo lute recording (esp. in a sub-optimal recording space) you probably want mics that can be carefully placed.
