Basic information 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 beats per minute, often referred to as bpm (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 a credit card size. It is useful for rehearsing musical pieces 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 professional 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 music accessories (tuning forks, string accessories, stands, etc.) as well as articles for the care and storage of sound and data carriers. The company, family-owned and managed since 1975 in the 3rd Generation, enjoys a high reputation worldwide for the reliability and quality of its products.
