Basics of the metronome: The metronome, also known as a metronome, is a mechanical or electronic device with the purpose of enabling a steady tempo by striking note values (mostly quarter notes). The number set on the metronome indicates the beats per minute, often referred to as bpm (beats per minute). Assuming a 4/4 time and setting the metronome to 60, a 1/4 note takes exactly 1 second. The electronic metronome generates the clock signal electronically. Its size can range from that of a mechanical metronome down to credit card format. It is helpful when rehearsing music pieces and is also gladly taken to increase the reading speed.

Interesting facts about the Wittner company: As early as 1895 Gustav Wittner founded a precision mechanical company for the production of metronomes, which his son Rudolf Wittner gradually expanded into a medium-sized industrial company. Wittner soon set new standards: the metronomes produced alongside the Maelzeln under the "TAKTELL" trademark became such a quality term that the word "metronome" was replaced by "TAKTELL" among experts in many countries. Experience and tradition, the latest technologies and modern production methods make Wittner the manufacturer with the most extensive range of metronomes in the world! In addition to metronomes, Wittner produces other music accessories (tuning forks, bowing accessories, tripods, etc.) as well as articles for the care and storage of audio and data carriers. The company, which has been family-owned since 1975, enjoys a worldwide reputation for the reliability and quality of its products.
