Perfect replacement for my Wittner Taktell metronome

My old Wittner Taktell metronome broke after years of use from classical piano training in my teens through starting to learn guitar as an adult. What I loved most about it was the wood block sound and being able to pick up counting on the next beat if I missed one. I tried a few digital metronomes, but did not like any of them. The beeping was annoying, and the sound got lost when practicing with my guitar plugged into the amp. None of them had an option to disable the emphasis on the first beat, which meant I had to wait a full count if I missed a beat. This Seiko metronome has a wonderful wood block sound, and it is LOUD! I can hear it even when practicing with my guitar amplified. There's a choice of two pitches--I prefer the lower one--and the volume is adjustable. Also, it's a steady beat so, if I miss one, I can pick counting on the next. The case is plastic, but it feels solid and well-made. I love the "ratchet" feel of the simple dial; it has standard timing intervals from 40 - 208 bpm. Definitely beats having to adjust a counterweight like with my old Taktell. This metronome is a worthy replacement, and I look forward to enjoying years of use from it in my practice sessions. If you're looking for a metronome, I highly recommend this little Seiko.

I wish it was louder

It's easy to use but it's not loud enough when practicing.
