Basic information about the metronome
A metronome is a mechanical or electronic device designed to maintain a steady tempo by marking note values, usually quarter notes. The number on the metronome indicates beats per minute (bpm). For example, in 4/4 time and set to 60 bpm, each quarter note lasts exactly one second. An electronic metronome generates the beat electronically and can range in size from a traditional mechanical metronome to something as small as a credit card. It is useful for practicing musical pieces and for increasing reading speed.

Interesting facts about the Wittner company
In 1895 Gustav Wittner founded a precision mechanical company to manufacture metronomes, which his son Rudolf Wittner gradually developed into a medium sized industrial enterprise. Soon Wittner was setting new standards: metronomes produced alongside the Maelzels under the trademark TAKTELL became so well known that in professional circles in many countries the word metronome was often replaced by TAKTELL. Experience and tradition combined with modern technologies and production methods make Wittner the manufacturer with the widest range of metronomes worldwide. In addition to metronomes, Wittner produces tuning forks, string accessories, stands and items for the care and storage of sound and data carriers. Family owned and managed since 1975 in the third generation, the company enjoys a worldwide reputation for reliability and quality.
