WITTNER WIT-816 Metronome

The Wittner Wood Case Black Metronome with Bell Tuner 816M is a mechanical and precise metronome made of a solid wooden body. It features a bell lever that makes an optional ding at the start of the measure. Users can set the bell to denote 4/4, 2,4, or 3/4 time. To engage the bell on this model, pull the knob that is situated above the winding crank. The bell itself is not visible. The metronome is available in both black and mahogany stained wood. The difference between the two items is simply the color, and both the black 816m and the mahogany color 811m have the optional bell lever feature that makes an optional ding at the start of the measure. Customers' reception of the metronome is divided. Several customers have praised the product's craftsmanship, quality, and sound. Others have reported that it is cheaply made and not worth the price tag. Some have mentioned confusion around the bell sound, which almost sounds as if it is ringing with each beat, but becoming quieter until the first beat rolls around again. Overall, this metronome remains a true classic and can be a great addition to a musician's instrument collection provided that buyers find it to be of sufficient quality and value for their needs.
