(More customer reviews)Before this Seiko metro-tuner, I had a Korg tuner and a Qwik Time metronome. Using them separately, they functioned well, but I couldn't use them simultaneously because the tuner kept picking up the metronome sound. Also, there wasn't enough space on the music stand to place them both along with music. I practice long scales on metronome and like to check my intonation once in a while during playing, so I started looking for an alternative.
This Seiko metro-tuner is a great multi-product with flawless features that run truly simultaneously. While one of the three functions is running, you can turn on/off/change settings of the second and/or third function without any problem. It's really awesome!
The tuner works great, is sensitive and quick enough, and never gets disturbed by the metronome sound. The metronome has a digital "tot-tot-tot" kind of sound that is soother than the Qwik Time's but is still audible over my violin. There's a volume control (upper right corner) and an earphone jack, too. I don't use the stopwatch function, but it's there if you want one.
The lights on the top light up left right with metronome beats, and this is much more helpful than both my previous metronome (one small blinking light with tiny digital dots moving on the screen) and my teacher's (big digital slider moving left-right); it's hard to keep your eyes on the metronome screen while playing music, so you end up relying on the beeps only. Since the metronome sound is sometimes dwarfed by my own playing sound, I love the visual ques that the several moving lights provide.
Also, this product has a small flip-out stand/hanger in the back that lets me hang it on the music stand. The hanger's groove isn't deep enough though, so the product fell off the music stand a few times when I bumped into the music stand by accident. But despite the falls, it's still going strong.
I recommend this highly to anyone who's looking for a tuner and a metronome. Not only you get a three-in-one product that's easy to carry around, but also being able to run multiple features simultaneously is great. If I lose this tomorrow, I won't hesitate to buy the same one again.
