Seiko SQ60 Metronome

Works nicely. This design meets my picky criteria for a metronome that needs to be used often. The dial is my preferred way to adjust tempo, due to ease of use, and visibilty. The click tone is an agreeable wooden sound and volume is adjustable. MInimal bells and whistles. And now I see this model is available in white, which is nice.

I'm a professional musician, and frequently use a metronome when learning technical passages. I highly recommend this metronome. The Seiko SQ60 Metronome is battery operated with 2 AAA batteries, which last a long time.. There's no need to recharge. There are two striking features about this metronome. It has a DIAL! It's so much speedier to change metronome markings using a dial. I much prefer this over push-button metronomes. Also, it has a full range of volume adjustments, from very soft to very loud. Many of the electronic metronomes are just not loud enough. It's very well made and study, but portable enough to be tossed into my backpack. If you're looking for a metronome with a dial, this is the best I've found.

Wonderful metronome. Nice elegant design and function. Definitely loud enough. There are two metronome tones, one clave and one combination clave and beep. The clave and beep is louder but I did not like the tone. The clave sound alone was very pleasing and I found it to be loud enough.

Keeps perfect time. Great for scales.

I'm pretty happy with this metronome, especially its large rotary dial (rather than up/dn buttons) to set tempo like my old fashioned ones used to. The volume is a bit loud for classical piano with the metronome sitting on the music stand, but I taped over the speaker grills to give the volume control a little more useful range on the soft end. When setting the beat to an even number (2, 4, or 6) my preference is that the emphasized tick be aligned with the leftmost LED, so the downbeat occurs as the LEDs launch from their left edge. When I first used the metronome I was disappointed that the alignment was the other way around. I tried playing with it "backwards" like this for fifteen minutes but it never felt right and I switched it off. Later I tried again and was surprised to find the emphasized beat DID align this time. After fiddling around some more, it appears to align randomly each time you cycle the BEAT button around to some number and the ticks/LEDs begin anew. So, if tick/LED alignment matters to you, keep hitting the BEAT button until you get what you want. Since the metronome does not remember beat settings after power off, to avoid this fuss I will sometimes just turn the volume down, rather than the unit off, when pausing just for a little while.

This Seiko metronome works great — the tempo is accurate and steady, and it’s been really helpful for my child’s practice. The color is clean and simple, which we like. The only minor downside is that shipping took a little longer than expected. But overall, very happy with this purchase!

What a nice metronome. Great wooden block sound. Loud. You can do "beep on the downbeat, the block sounds. 6/8, 5/4, all is possible with this metronome. AAA batteries. As good as but more versatile than the 50 model, which my son stole from me and now uses everyday. That's been a great tool since the 80s but I think I like the 60 better.

The metronome is loud, accurate, and easy to use. It performs all the tasks expected of a metronome at a reasonable price.

This is my second Seiko Metronome. The first one is about 30 years old and still working perfectly. I just needed one for home and one for work. Can't praise them highly enough. batteries last forever and I love the dial. It's so quick and easy to change the tempo and it's got nice loud click that's easy on the ear.

Suche nicht weiter. Das ist das beste Metronom. Kaufe und sei glücklich.

Es un metrónomo confiable. La batería dura años. La mejor opción es un seiko.

My older metronome (several decades old) had given up the ghost, this one has more than filled the gap, I also use it to time exercises that need timing counts

C’est mon troisième mais rien ne l’égale Le meilleur de tous les métronomes…
