 Kids Metronome Sep 17, 2010
By William Drawbond
Our kids are taking piano lessons and needed a metronome. This was at a great price and rugged enough for their use(abuse). It works great for them.

Classic metronome Oct 23, 2010

A nice alternative to wood for the price. Works the way I remember them. I have an electronic one but the red light reminded me of the cyborgs and like the visual cue of the pendulum.

 Not fit for use by professionals or serious students Dec 08, 2012
By dmus
I hope this review is helpful to anyone seeking a highly accurate metronome. I am a music major, I teach at a public school, and I perform frequently; needless to say, my metronome is one of my most important possessions.
I bought this metronome because I was frustrated with the cheaper digital metronomes--their beep is both annoying and difficult to hear over a wind instrument. I borrowed my roommates nice wooden wittner before ordering my own; it was both accurate at audible. So, overtaken with nostalgia and faith in old technology, I purchased a plastic model from Amazon. Came on time, nicely packaged, etc. However, when I started the pendulum for the first time, I was shocked by the definite lilt between beats. To be honest, I am not sure if a "non-musician" would be able to hear it. Nevertheless, all of my fellow music-student friends wrinkled their noses after just six beats of my shiny new metronome. It seems that if the metronome is not placed on a perfectly level surface, it will not function properly.
To give the device a fair trial, I ran it next to my old digital Korg metronome. The pair were out of sync in seconds flat.
I gave this two stars because, well, it's kind of cool. It's clearly constructed well and appears to be durable. Despite this, however, a faulty metronome is to a musician like a warped level to a carpenter: useless! Needless to say, I will be mailing mine back in the next couple of days.

Very Pleased Feb 07, 2011
By RWeeks
I was very pleased with this metronome. Although I bought a plastic model, the mechanism is identical to the more expensive wooden models. Electronic metronomes don't compare to this traditional mechanical metronome. When I use it I feel I have a more organic relationship with the metronome and can keep the rhythm much easier than with an electronic metronome. I love it.
