Wittner 903014 Taktell Super-Mini Metronome, Black

I dont even see the point of testing every bpm setting with a Wittner, but its the first thing I do every time. Like all the others, this metronome is spot on with every setting. The super mini will easily travel with you in a guitar case or even your pocket. It feels very sturdy and the print is easy to read. The pendulum securely clicks into place and when in motion, gives a loud audible click. Largo to prestissimo (40-208bpm) gives you a large scope to choose from. Very well made in Germany and a good value for the price.

I've been using these things for a quarter century and they're still my favorite metronome for keeping in a guitar or clarinet case, and for new students' practice sessions. The quality and precission on these today is just as good as when I bought my first one 25 years ago, and the price hasn't increased more than about 25% in all that time.The many electronic metronomes I've tried work OK for me in most settings, but they are NOT the best choice for new music students. First off, the dry "click" of this mentronome is a more precise audible cue than the mushy "beep" presented by many electronic devices. Secondly, When a student is first trying to internalize a sense of rhythm, they need as many reinforcements as possible, and a sound cue alone is often insufficient. I've found studnets nearly always do better when they also have a -visual- cue for the rhythm, such as the well-defined swing of a pendulum. This provides a broader cue than a flashing LED, and one more easily grasped from the corner of the eye while reading music.I always have my new students obtain a Taktell Super-mini. For accuracy, durability, compactness, and price, I've yet to find anything better.

Works great, very accurate, loud enough to practice at lower volume but to quite when playing loudly.

The media could not be loaded.  I ordered the black color, so I was nervous when the box had a picture of the brown one, but it was the correct item. Easy to set up and use right away. I learned the adjustable weight can come off—oops! After fumbling with it for a while, I found it’s easiest to adjust the weight when the pendulum is docked. Works great and fulfills my nostalgia for a classic metronome at a lower cost and smaller, portable size.

Honestly the reviewers who marked this low its their own issues not the metronome. User error isn't a reason to give low reviews. Learn to read and comprehend. This unit is great. Does what it's supposed to and is louder than my full wooden table top metronome. Can't say enough good. A+ will buy another.

I prefer the mechanical metronome design for the ability to watch and predict the tempo. It is much easier for new musicians to learn tempo by watching AND listening than the electronic versions that just beep in rhythm. The sound is plenty loud but not distracting and the build quality is great. This metronome has been a staple in music lessons for a very long time and I’m glad they still make it.

From when I was little, we always had this Wittner metronome next to our piano, and it has worked quite well. When I was purchasing a new metronome for myself, I saw this, and I decided to get it. The mechanism is very crisp and it is quite loud despite the small size. It's also very well made, and I could toss it into my bag and take it with me everywhere. When fully wound, while it doesn't last as long as the full size model I grew up with, it does last quite a long time. The quality is just as good as any other Wittner metronome and it is made to be very precise. If I lost the one I had, I would definitely get another one.

The media could not be loaded.  I was SO excited to get a physical metronome to practice with, but after a couple of sessions I noticed it would slow down. I wrote it off as the spring tension only being good for 10-15 minutes or so, which is still usable. However, despite following the instructions on removing the key and storing this metronome on my desk, it is now unusable. It slows down in a matter of 1-2 minutes. I recorded an example at the 208 bpm setting, played against the soundbrenner pulse metronome app.I wish I had been able to practice frequently enough to catch this sooner. This is very disappointing. This flaw prevents it from carrying out its sole purpose- to keep time.

Me gusta que lo puedo llevar a clases sin ningún problema. La cuerda le dura mucho. Me encantó.

The media could not be loaded.  This is the perfect metronome for traveling and/or practicing with.I have attached a video to this review... There is a plectrum against the metronome to help give you an idea of just how small it is.I have absolutely nothing bad to say against this product... It works perfectly, and is very good quality.Positive points:- Fits into all of my guitar and banjo cases.- Very lightweight.- Very loud for it's size, but pleasant on the ears.- More than accurate enough for most applications.I highly recommend this product If you prefer mechanical metronomes... Just buy one already! 🙂👍

Facile à glisser dans un cartable ou une housse pour guitare.

Es muy funcional y me recuerda cuando estaba en la escuela de música. Como es tan pequeño lo puedo llevar a todas partes. Lo utilizo tooooooooooodos los días.

Als ich das kleine Metronom auspackte, war es mir gleich sympathisch. Klein und niedlich. Was ich bei einer anderen Rezension gelesen und was mich zum Kauf bewegt hatte, stimmt: Es hat einen dezenten Klang. Es klingt, wie wenn der Dirigent mit seinem Taktstock auf sein hölzernes Notenpult schlägt. Da ich das Metronom verwende, um mich zu zwingen, knifflige Stellen oder ganze Stücke am Klavier und an der Orgel über einen längeren Zeitraum langsam zu spielen und erst allmählich das Tempo zu steigern, ist mir der gut hörbare und doch unaufdringliche Metronom-Schlag angenehm. Ein stärkerer Schlag würde mir nach kurzer Zeit auf die Nerven gehen. – Dass die Skala sehr klein und die Abstände im oberen Bereich winzig sind, ist eine Herausforderung für das Feingefühl der Finger. – Ich kann das Metronom nur empfehlen!
