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
Wittner Dm40 metronome is a good buy as it has many features that more
expensive credit card metronomes have. Accenting of the beat and
tuning features are included. All Wittner metronomes come with a
one year warranty (all warranty problems are handled through Teachers
Discount Music).
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.

To Metronomes
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 get 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.
Confused, or not sure which metronome you need - call (800)586-3876 and we will try to help you.
