801M Metronome System Maelzel without Bell, Mahogany Coloured, Mat Silk

Alrighty received what I was hoping for - a solid wood, mechanical metronome, that I could hear above my piano playing.

This is pretty good. Just what I was looking for, but not quite as well-made as I was expecting. I am comparing this one to memories of the one my grandmother had and that we used for lessons. This one does the job, looks very similar to those old ones. But it doesn't quite have the heft of the original. The pendulum and the slider are much more flimsy and delicate. The wood enclosure is lighter weight as well. IT will do the job, looks great, and it seems like it will last. But it's definitely a product of the modern age.

After reading reviews online and talking to professional musicians I know I purchased a quality metronome at an excellent price. It looks good, works well and I would recommend it to any musician or student.

I like this Metronome far better than electronic metronomes because I have gone through two electronic metronomes that for some reason just stopped working; so, I decided to go to the old method, and I am far more satisfied with this old style wind up Metronome. WORD OF WARNING: The Metronome slides from the thumb and fingers when picking it up from the top; so, I used Shoegoo for glue, and I glued a strip of velcro on both sides; the velcro was only the spiky part, and I threw the soft velcro away; now, when I pick the metronome up from the top it will not slide through my thumb and finger; otherwise, it is best to pick up the metronome by grabbing it in a palmed fashion. Also, I had some little rubber circles that glue on to the bottom of electronic products to stop them from sliding around; so I glued a little rubber circle on each one of the feet of the Metronome in order to stop it from sliding off of smooth surfaces because it will slide off on a smooth surface! You do not want to drop this precious item; also, do not wind it up very much so that at the end of each use, you can slide the gauge to beat very fast so that it will completely wind down; thus, removing tension on the spring; also, it has a very nice look to it when it is not being used compared to that of some ugly electronic gadget. The sound on this Metronome is a good loud solid wood nock.

Beautiful and well made, this product is of excellent quality.

Just as expected and described, Good seller, good productWorks very well, good quality. Nothing much to add as this product does what we needed it to do

The product is actually really beautiful but the distributor packaged it so poorly that the case is damaged. The logo has also fallen off perhaps in transit. Disappointing as I tried to get this early for Christmas. Also this product isn’t cheap yet the packaging for delivery was so poorly handled.

I bought this because it reminded me of my piano teacher from so long ago. It is beautiful, with a mahogany finish, and it works! winds nicely as needed, but I haven't needed to. I use it occasionally when accompanying my son with his violin. But mostly I just look at it. Brings back great memories.

La référence des métronomes

Me encanta este metrónomo, funciona bien, se mira bien y atrae miradas en el estudio, me gustaría que la maquinaria hubiese sido de metal y no tan plástica igualmente la base, pero eso ya es en versiones superiores, no es para transportar, para eso es mejor otro tipo de metrónomo e igual lo afectan superficies irregulares, pero sigue siendo un metrónomo muy funcional y clásico por donde se mire, en cuanto a sus funcion pues es un metrónomo y funciona como tal,.sin quejas

Dieses Metronom ist super vom Klang her und sieht sehr edel aus. Für Leute, die auf Qualität achten eine super Alternative zu teuren Produkten aus dem Musikhaus.
