5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, December 3, 2008

Background: I'm a guitar student, and use a metronome while practicing to keep good timing.

First of all, I would highly, highly recommend using a metronome while practicing your instrument. If you can establish good timing while playing, it makes such an amazing difference to how good you sound.

This metronome specifically came recommended by my guitar teacher because it reliably produces a strong, clear, beat. So far, it hasn't disappointed. If you don't need extras like a built-in tuner or headphone jack, then I think this is a great purchase.

Also, it's good to note that the metronome looks very reddish-brown in the photo, but it's more of a dark brown in reality.

The thing I love about this is the volume control. For louder pieces you can turn it up to still hear it over the piano. You can have it be very soft if you just want a faint reminder of the beat. Easy dial on the base. Plus it looks classy on the piano.

This item works exactly as described. I did read in some reviews that the numbers for the tempo setting are hard to read. I had no trouble with this, if you can read the print in a regular book you should have to trouble reading these numbers. The volume is loud enough for practicing with a guitar.
