Sondery Classic Mechanical Metronome with Bell for Piano Guitar Drum Violin Saxophone All Instruments, Tempo Range 40-208bpm, Beats 02346, Black Wood Grain ABS Case with Comfortable Click Sound

Sondery is a great name in music products, and their classic mechanical metronome certainly doesn't disappoint. It's loud, clear, and easy to adjust. It's nice that it's wind-up; no need for batteries or any kind of electrification. The bell and ticking are quite loud and clear. Great for musicians trying to maintain steady timing when learning a song, not to mention the various time signature selection switch. A great gift idea for the musician in your life who may be tired of the usual electronic metronome and would like something a little old-school. Great product and highly recommended; happy jamming!

Would prefer a better first note in the beat chosen, but works well

Look great and it is very loud

This is a great way to get an iconic metronome on almost any budget. No fussing with settings on an app or getting distracted by notifications - just wind it up, set your tempo, and go.It lasts plenty long when winding it up, has options for several different time signatures (or just a straight beat) and is a good volume to hear over most instruments.The case is plastic but has decent looking fake wood grain. While it's not quite as nice as a high end real wood model, it's plenty nice and I wouldn't worry about upgrading unless you're a professional and/or using a metronome every single day.The timing is precise enough, and you should no problem with practicing even performance and increasing in speed over time, but like most mechanical metronomes, it won't compete with a computer if you're worried about the difference between 122 and 120 bpm during practice. All around, it does everything you want from a practice metronome without complicating it, and that's exactly what I like to see!

I got this for my wife, who is learning to play the Ukulele. It seemed like the perfect gift to encourage her learning.The casing looks like wood, but it’s actually plastic. Nothing wrong with that, it still looks good, but keeps the price down. The metronome itself does exactly what you would expect. Use the slider to set the speed, wind it up, and it tick-tick-ticks away at a steady pace.My wife hates it. Not because there is anything wrong with it, but because it’s a loud and relentless reminder of just how bad she is at keeping time. I’m sure as her playing improves, she’ll grow to love this little box.
