Basics 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 the 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 the size of a credit card. It is useful for rehearsing music 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 specialist 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 musical accessories (tuning forks, string accessories, stands, etc.) as well as articles for the care and storage of sound and data carriers. The company, which has been family-owned since 1975 in the 3rd generation, enjoys a high reputation worldwide due to the reliability and quality of its products.
