Wittner Model 804 Solid Wood Metronome - Genuine Walnut Wood - Glossy Finish - No Bell

A beautiful, precision, pyramid-style, wooden metronome from Wittner. Solid, genuine walnut wood exterior (not veneer or laminate). An extraordinarily handsome and reliable machine. A gorgeous addition to any music studio.

Q. What is the difference between the Genuine Walnut model 814 and the standard Walnut model 813?
A. This Genuine Walnut model is made from the wood of a Walnut tree. The standard Walnut model 813 is made from solid Alder or Poplar wood and given a Walnut stain. Both are solid wood, not laminate.



Q. I can't find the key to wind my metronome.
A. The key is stored on the bottom of the metronome for safety in shipping. Simply pull it from the storage slot and install. Replacement keys and pendulum weights are available to order.

Q. How do I wind my metronome?
A. Locate the key on the bottom of the metronome. Place in the hole on the side of the metronome and turn clockwise to thread it onto the metal shaft. When installing for the first time, you may find that you need to wiggle the key a bit, or adjust the angle, in order to get the key properly situated and onto the threaded shaft. Once the key is installed, simply turn clockwise until the metronome is fully wound

Q. How do I adjust the tempo on my metronome?
A. A small weight is attached to the pendulum (located at the very bottom of the pendulum when initially shipped). Simply adjust its position, up or down, to the desired speed.

Q. Can I leave the metronome wound, or do I need to let it unwind completely each time?
A. When putting the metronome into storage, Wittner recommends allowing the spring to completely unwind. However, the spring is designed to hold tension for long periods of time without ill effect. Under normal circumstances, with occasional use, the metronome may be left wound, or partially wound between practice sessions.

Q. Does Wittner use all metal parts?
A. No.  Under the solid wood exterior, wittner uses a dense, high-quality, composite frame to house and protect the inner mechanical workings; which include gears and parts of the same high-density, composite material.  Metal expands and contracts with changing temperatures, which would make the metronome inaccurate.  Metal also corrodes.  Composite materials may not be the most traditional choice, but they do help these metronomes to be highly accurate and long lasting.
