Ueteto Digital Metronome with Timer, English Vocal Counting, One Touch Operation and Easily Readable Color Display Electronic Metronome with Volume Control for Piano Guitar Drum Violin

I gave this product all five stars to help offset the one star ratings given by folks who simply can not use a little common sense when purchasing or using a Metronome. Yes it is kind of "cheap" looking, but for around $20 shipped my expectations weren't too high. And I wanted something that could help with me my guitar practice, not a fine piece of artwork or mechanical intricacy to display in my music room. Admittedly the instructions are not the best, but it is obvious that something must be removed to unlock the device to prevent damage during shipping in a container all the way from China. That something is a small plastic plug underneath the unit. Having been self taught on the guitar for over a decade, and in my 60's. I was not progressing very far. So I enrolled in an Adult Education class at my local college and within two months have already passed my ability prior to enrollment. I am looking forward to the levels two, three and four that I already signed up for over the next 8 months. My instructor suggested we purchase a Metronome to help with our strumming rhythem. My particular unit was well packaged and I commend Amazon for encouraging their suppliers to utilize environmentally sound packaging. With the exception of the clear plastic film that is to be removed protecting the clear cover and the thin foam wrapping, all other packing elements were fully recyclable. On my particular unit, the "bell' is very soft sounding and I can barely hear it over my guitar, That doesn't concern me, as the clicking is fairly loud and I watch the swinging adjustable tempo arm as I practice transitioning from cord to cord over two or three measures per cord. So it works perfect for my needs. I would like to comment on one particular negative review. If you own a million dollar home, and a ten thousand dollar piano, why purchase a $20 accessory that is obviously not up to your own high standards of fine quality and performance? Perhaps going to a local music store and looking at higher quality units would be a better option vs purchasing an inexpensive (cheap) item, and then complaining about it. Kind of like going to Morton's Steak House and ordering a grilled cheese sandwich and then sending it back.

This sterling specimen of a metronome, is so exquisitely constructed and unwavering in its duties that one half expects it to run for Parliament. It ticks with the measured confidence of a seasoned butler—never hurried, never lagging, but simply there, ensuring that one’s musical escapades do not descend into rhythmic anarchy. Its design is a marvel of simplicity. I heartily recommend it to any musician, aspiring or otherwise, who wishes to maintain a semblance of order in their artistic endeavors. Five stars, and a tip of the hat!

The media could not be loaded. It's a good metronome, although it's not the best quality. It tries to do its job well. When you remove the safety lock, it doesn't work by itself. You have to push it to one side for it to start working correctly. When you change speeds, you have to do the same. Just for this, I'm going to give it four stars. Watch it in the video.

Compact size and easy to use

Works well. Nice and LOUD and it's easy to have it just give an unaccented (no bell sound) click. It also looks pretty sharp. No complaints

Ok I just recieved it, opened the box (a new-wrapped battery pack of 3), put the batteries in and the Metronome won't turn on. I pressed and held and tried different ways but it won't turn on. So I used some old batteries that I had and put them in and it worked! The batteries came in dead already!! So I decided to use the cable that came with it. The cable is only 20 inches long!! So it won't do either. Disappointing but I'm going to try and find a way to make this work for me. If you're getting this for your piano, I don't think it would be a smart idea. Look for other options. Oh also the sound was on the lower side, it definitely can be a little louder. Good luck!Edit: other than what I mentioned above, and after using it, I do like it and the sound is not really that bad, it’s sufficient, I only wish it came with a longer cable. But I guess I’ll just buy batteries when needed because I do like it so I’m raising it to three stars.

This is great product and I would definitely recommend it to anyone trying to keep beat in their music journey.

I have played guitar for 45 years but never had a metronome. LOL But now that I am playing in public, I wanted to make sure I was keeping a steady beat. This is a great little metronome. Easy to operate and works great. I did not like the bell sound and found that if I push the upper lever on the lower right side all the way in, it stops the bell. I may use it in the future but nice to have the option to turn it off. I prefer a physical metronome to one on line.Thanks for the great product for a very good price.
