Pyramid shaped metronome with real wood construction and bell.
The Wittner 816M metronome is a classic pyramid shaped metronome. The removable front cover protects the pendulum of the Wittner 816M metronome during transport.
The features of the Wittner 816M must first be addressed by the genuine wooden body with black matte finish. Just below the surface, the mechanical metronome with bell helps maintain 0, 2, 3, 4 and 6 time signatures. Simply adjust the tempo by moving the weight on the pendulum rod up or down for slower or quicker rhythms, respectively. When no in use, click the pendulum rod under the metal protective cap for safe keeping.
Tempo ranges from 40 to 208 beats per minute. A scale also indicates different tempo designations: Largo, Larghetto, Adagio, Andante, Moderato, Allegro, Presto, Prestissimo. with metal pendulum protective cap
Dimensions of the pyramid approx. : 115 x 115 x 210 mm
Made in Germany
Tip: Do not wind the metronome until immediately before use. Do not leave it with the spring fully wound for a long time. This will increase the life span of your metronome
Basic information about the metronome: The metronome is a mechanical or electronic device with the purpose of enabling a steady tempo by striking note values (usually quarter notes). The number set on the metronome indicates beats per minute, often referred to as bpm (beats per minute). Assuming a 4/4 time signature and setting the metronome to 60, a 1/4 note therefore lasts exactly 1 second. The electronic metronome generates the beat signal electronically. Its size can range from that of a mechanical metronome down to a credit card size. It is useful for rehearsing musical pieces and is also used to increase reading speed.
Interesting facts about the Wittner company: As early as 1895, Gustav Wittner founded a precision mechanical company for the manufacture of metronomes, which his son Rudolf Wittner gradually expanded into a medium-sized industrial enterprise. Soon Wittner was setting new standards: the metronomes produced alongside the maelzels under the trademark "TAKTELL" became such a byword for quality that in professional circles in many countries the word "metronome" was replaced by "TAKTELL". Experience and tradition, the latest technologies and modern production methods make Wittner the manufacturer with the widest range of metronomes in the world! In addition to metronomes, Wittner produces other music accessories (tuning forks, string accessories, stands, etc.) as well as articles for the care and storage of sound and data carriers. The company, family-owned and managed since 1975 in the 3rd Generation, enjoys a high reputation worldwide for the reliability and quality of its products.
