How does the Model 804M Genuine Walnut Model compare?

The genuine Walnut models are our most popular and best-selling Wittner metronomes. 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 804M genuine Walnut model, however, is made from the seasoned wood of a genuine Walnut tree, and given a natural matte finish. 

804M Genuine Walnut vs. 803M Walnut-Stained 

The panels of the 804M genuine Walnut metronome are darker in color than the 803M Walnut-stained Witttner Maelzel metronome, and have a more pronounced and beautiful grain.  

804M Genuine Walnut vs. 814M Genuie Walnut With Bell 

The 814M Genuine Walnut Wittner Maelzel metronome comes with the optional bell chime that can be set to ring on the first beat of each measure.  This option is popular with teachers, who use the bell to help students undertand the emphasis of the down beat.  The 804M model does not come with the bell.  (Note the absense of the bell control mechanism, above the winding key, on the right side of the unit.)  Both the 804M and 814M models are made of genuine Walnut wood, and both are given a natural matte finish.
