Wittner Metronome Black Wood With Bell 816M

Made in Germany, the Wittner 816M Black Wooden Metronome with Bell is not only a useful tool for keeping time, but a beautiful piece of décor that you can on display in your music room. Wittner have been making metronomes since 1895 and they are known for the reliability and quality of their products. Thanks to experience and tradition, new technologies and modern production methods, they have become the manufacturer with the widest range of metronomes in the world. Traditional metronomes like the 816M are built to last and if looked after properly, they will last up to 100 years or more!,,

This metronome is one of Wittner’s top of the range models, made with beautiful solid wood and stained black with a matte finish. The material that a metronome is made from affects the sound that it produces and with a completely wooden casing, this metronome has a very pleasant and traditional tick-tock sound. If you can imagine a wooden percussive instrument vs a plastic one, you can imagine the different tones they might produce. Size will also affect the tone and volume of a metronome, and this metronome is loud enough for use with a piano or in an ensemble setting.

No batteries are required for this tradition style of metronome which operates via a wind-up mechanism. It also has a bell that can be used to emphasize specific beats. This can be changed to chime every 2, 3, 4 or 6 beats and tempo can be set from 40-208 beats per minute. To adjust the tempo there is a weight on the ticking needle that goes up and down. To adjust slower, move the weight up (long slow ticks) and to adjust faster, move the weight lower (short and fast ticks). The 816M also has Italian tempo terms next to the BPM marks as a guide.
