Description:
The Wittner 855161 Maelzel metronome provides a mechanical way to keep time during music practice. Set the pendulum to the desired tempo using the printed scale, which includes traditional tempo guides from Largo to Prestissimo. The bell can mark the beat pattern for selected time signatures, or be disengaged for an unaccented tempo tick.
Place the metronome on a level surface and start it with a light push of the pendulum. For care, wind it only shortly before use and avoid storing it fully wound to help extend the main spring's life. Made in Germany. Not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts.
