the metronome is fine. It looks quite nice and works very easily. It is, however, a little delicate. I didn't expect that the casing would feel so flimsy and that the mechanical components would be so thin.
This is the first mechanical metronome I have used, so I cannot say if this is the same as any metronome in this price range.

It works and it works well while still looking better than a digital metronome!

Very disappointed. Received this metronome and was thrilled, used it for only about fifteen minutes before it stopped working all together. Did a search online - we're not the only ones with this problem. Very disappointing, and I don't have the energy to even bother for a return.
