The smooth contours and glossy piano black finish make for a handsome and easy to hold device. Yes, it’s just plastic but it feels durable. Like my Seiko of yesteryear, it takes a 9v battery (included) and seems to run forever. I flicked the on-off switch and it was metronome déjà vu. It sounds, feels and operates just like my old Seiko: easy to adjust tempo dial, simple volume wheel, foldout wire stand and three-position rocker switch for power and choice of two wood block tones. And, yes, one handed operation is a snap!
While Seiko designers didn’t change this basic model much since the late 1980s, a couple improvements were apparent to me: greater volume range and a brighter LED light. While practicing classical guitar, I found volume irritatingly loud at even 50% and needed to lower it to just barely on! I’m guessing this model should be loud enough for most piano and wind players. If it’s not loud enough, you can run the mini pin (mono) output jack into an amp.
This is a wonderful basic metronome: looks and sounds good, allows one-handed operation and the battery lasts for nearly a year with daily use. It’s not a good choice for musicians requiring a downbeat tone but beats practicing with a smartphone app.
+ Has a volume control
+ Quartz metronomes with dials are the fastest/easiest to use
+ Has two sounds to choose from (in theory)
+ Small form factor
+ At around $25, affordable
CONS
- Mine arrived with only 1 sound for both switch positions (defective)
- Timing was inconsistent vs. two other metronomes (possibly defective)
- I found the white numbering on red background harder to read than other units with black on white
- The dial pointer is very hard to see compared to competing similar products
NEUTRAL
- No beat accents. I don't really use those very often so not a big deal to me, but you should be aware.
SUMMARY
This would be a decent metronome for the price IF you receive one that works right. I didn't. The print on the dial favors young eyes, and they chose a "pointer" that isn't very obvious, or I'd have probably reordered a replacement and tried again. I rated 3 stars based on features not working and the usability issues of the dial design. On the plus side it's the cheapest quartz/dial metronome with a volume control, and at least for me, a volume control is a highly favorable feature. You could do worse at this price point. But I prefer the Matrix MR-600 (w/ volume control) or the Wittner 50 (no vol control but readable).
