How does the Model 814M Genuine Walnut Model compare?

The genuine Walnut Maelzel metronomes 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 814M genuine Walnut model, however, is crafted from the seasoned wood of a genuine Walnut tree, and given a natural matte finish. 

814M Genuine Walnut Metronome vs. 813M Walnut-Stained Metronome

The panels of the 814M genuine Walnut metronome are darker in color than that of the 813M Walnut-Stained Maelzel metronome, and have a more pronounced and attractive grain.  

814M Genuine Walnut With Bell vs. 804M Genuie Walnut Without Bell

The 814M model comes with the optional bell chime that can be set to ring every 2, 3, 4, or 6 beats, or turned off.  The bell is popular with teachers, who use it to help students undertand the emphasis of the down beat.  The Wittner model 804M model does not come with the bell.  Both the 804M and 814M models are made of genuine Walnut wood, and both are given a rich, natural matte finish.

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.
