Just works.

Very simple and effective tool. Highly recommend.

Be careful with the line out signal, because it's quite loud. I recommend setting it to zero, and then turning it up to a comfortable volume.

good old-style metronome

you can have a metronome in any other form, but I still think an old metronome with a tempo dial is worth it. Plus, it has a headphone jack!

Amazing metronome

This is really what I was looking for. For the price, it's totally worth it. It has a great range of volume... from really low to very loud, enabling you to practice with it when everyone's asleep, or even in a small group's rehearsal. It runs with a 9v Battery , which is included, and the visual is great. Good design, very simple and well built.

Simple to use, cheap and rugged

You can set this sooo easily at the twist of a dial to the tempo you want. Has a headphone socket, volume and high or low pitch click. Could be a little louder.

Indispensable tool for every practicing musician !

This little black unit is really important because it helps you to keep in time and develop a feel for the beat !

The dial is divided in steps of 4bpm which is a very good choice because it prevents the display to be too cluttered (1 bpm isn't really that noticable when practicing).

I remember this well from my time when i studied classical music and piano, the mechanic metronome i used was identical in this case.

It starts at 40 and goes up to 208, a range that is broad enough for most music styles.

Acoustically the "beep" sound (there are two at choice here) is rather pleasant, due to the metronome using a Quartz instead of generating it the digital way.

I avoid the latter exactly because of the harsh bleep sounds these make, it gets on your nerves when practicing some hours.

You even get a visible sign on top of the metronome, a good help when practicing silent (for example without sound or with headphones !)

I recommend this unit to everyone who is playing an instrument, whether novice or pro.

Reliable and quick to adjust

I got fed up with cheap digital metronomes as they kept breaking and were fiddly to adjust.

This is great: you can quickly alter the speed, it has big battery to last ages, and it's got a clear long sound.

The only downsound is that it doesn't give quite as many different speeds as you can get with a digital or physical metronome.
