    Metronome Help

    Not sure which model  you need? There are many models  to pick from and it depends what you are using the metronome for. If you need a metronome for music purposes, any model  will work well, but there are some with more features than others. Below are a few tips to help you choose a model. 

    The Korg Ma30 digital metronome is packed full of features. The Screen of the Korg Ma30 metronome has a pendulum that swings back and forth, volume control, and tuning features. Another great feature of the Korg Ma 30 metronome is the tap feature. 

    The Korg TM40 Chromatic tuner & Metronome.. is one of the best quality combination tuners and metronomes. This instrument will tune almost any instrument with a very wide range of pitch detection.  ... if the tuner has difficulty hearing the sound of your instrument try using the Korg Instrument Pick-up.  

   The Korg BeatLab metronome is one of the most advanced metronomes available... each part of the beat can be controlled through volume controls. There are many rhythm memory settings, so you can pre-set all of the tempos and rhythms and quickly select all of your memorized settings.39 preset rudiment patterns.  This model is a compact advanced rhythm trainer. 

    The keywound metronomes with a swinging pendulum let you see the motion of the beat. The bell models will also accent the first beat with a bell sound. The keywound models give the most natural sound of all the metronomes and are very pleasing to the ear. The Taktell Mini is a great metronome for portability, but the sound is louder on the Taktell Piccolo or Standard Models. Using the keywound models is simple and with winding the key about 8 -12 times the sound should last from 20 to 30 minutes. The plastic standard models are identical to the standard wood model... except for the case which is wood. The wood is made from a composite wood and then finished with walnut, mahogany, or black finishes. 

    Quartz and keywound models  are a little easier to use than digital models, as you can dial the tempo quickly with a quartz model  - a digital model  requires pressing a button till you get to the tempo. -  Look at Matrix,  Seiko and the Wittner Mt70  for great quartz models at a low price.

    Digital Metronomes have many features and will increment the the tempo by one beat at a time. With a digital metronome you can obtan  the tempos 60,61,63,64... etc. Quartz and keywound models use musical tempos to determine the increments.  
  
      Need a loud metronome... the loudest are the Franz XB700 (made in USA), Matrix  Mr600,  and Seiko Sq70 are our loudest.  Need a very loud metronome -- for chorus, band, orchestra, large groups... look at the MetroAmp packages.  
  
        For exercise, physical therapy, dog training, or golf swing... our most popular model  is the Seiko DM50 Clip On.
