4 out of 5 stars Tons of Features for a Killer Price   August 26, 2008
Fly By Light (Atlanta, Georgia)
I love this metronome. It has a broad range of tempos and time signatures. The volume knob and mini output give you unlimited output options, including feeding your keyboard "Audio In", ear phone, amp, monitor system, recording system, or other configuration. The "tap tempo" features allows you to determine the tempo of recordings with ease.

Complaints are minor. The rubber buttons require considerable pressure, which compresses both button and finger. There is no precise "moment of contact" when pressing these buttons. Without a tactile click, the Tap Tempo function feels "mushy". The Tap Tempo function is still "good enough", but stops me short of giving this product five stars. Also, I wish that the chassis had a little more durable feel. Neither of these is a deal-killer.

Quibbles aside, I enthusiastically recommend this product. I use it for practice at home, as well as in choir rehearsals. It fits nicely in the pencil pouch of my music notebook. If mine were ever lost or broken, I would replace it immediately. At this price, it might make sense to have one for home and one for gigs/rehearsals.



3 out of 5 stars Wanted a click metronome   August 12, 2008
Agent 92
I bought this based on at least two other reviews that described the sound it makes as a "click". It is not a click it is a high pitched electronic "beep". That beep gets lost with notes played by guitar, etc. It also could be louder so I took two stars off for these two drawbacks. Otherwise it keeps time like it is supposed to. Look elsewhere if you wanted a click sound metronome.


5 out of 5 stars this metronome is great!   August 11, 2008
Cirie Thomas (Paso Robles, California)
I got this metronome to help keep the tempo of a song my quartet was singing. It helped us tremendously. I like the fact it has a pitch pipe on it also!


4 out of 5 stars Good value for the $   August 10, 2008

Works fine for what I needed it for. It does a lot more that I have yet to learn about. Good value for the money.

Antonio Cimino
This is a great compact metronome. Easy to use...There are several rhythmic options for subdividing the beat, an octave chromatic scale for tuning that may be adjusted to 'Baroque' pitch if you need it or higher [Some instruments, flutes in particular are being tuned to A-442.] There is a volume control and what I like is its ability to move up or down 1 digit at a time. The 'old' metronome moves in increments of '2', '4' & '6'. I have recommended this metronome to my students and they are also happy with it.
