How does the Model 819 Genuine Oak Model compare?

Although all the Maelzel models that we sell are made of solid wood, many are made from the wood of trees found local to the factory in Germany - principally Aldewood - and given a Mahogany, Walnut, or other stain.  The model 819 genuine Oak model, however, is made from the seasoned wood of a genuine Oak tree. 

The high-gloss finish over the textured grain gives this model a modern, almost synthetic look, that pairs well with a modern decor.  For a more traditional, natural wood look, consider the genuine Oak models 808 or 818.  For a more traditional black finish with a smooth, un-textured, finish, consider models 816 or 806.

Custom Engraving

A Wittner metronome makes a wonderful holiday, graduation, recital, or appreciation gift for a musician or music teacher.  Personalize your gift and make it special with a professionally-engraved custom message on a solid brass commemorative plate.  We use 0.20" thickness, high-qualify, polished, solid brass engraving blanks, 3" x 1" in size.  We permanently and precisely etch your desired message into the brass using a high-powered laser.  The finished engraving is dark brown in color (to match the Wittner seal on the metronome cover) and can be both seen and felt under the fingers.  Finally, we seal the engraving with microcrystalline wax polish, for a long-lasting, beautiful finish.  Adding a personalized commemorative plate will not slow your order - most ship within 1-2 business days.

We will affix your commemorative plate to the front of the metronome, prior to shipping, using a semi-permanent adhesive.  Although the plate is not intended to be removed; it can be, if necessary, without harming the metronome.  

Our custom-engraved commemorative plates are optional, and are not included in the base price of the product.  Just click on the checkbox above, where it says, "Personalize Your Gift," to see available styles, options, and cost.
