Review: best piano metronome on the market - If you're like most pianists, you've been led to believe (as I was) that the "best" metronomes are the wood ones made by Wittner. Beautifully crafted in Germany, those metronomes are the ones you see in every movie, documentary, or tv show about a pianist. They feature an actual pendulum adjusted by sliding a weight up and down and make a very satisfying acoustic click sound (the highest-end models even have an actual bell that can be adjusted to ring at certain beats). I've had one for over twenty years. All that being said, the Seiko just crushes it in every way UNLESS you 1) don't like either of the click sounds or 2) don't like plugging in your metronome (or changing 9V batteries, if you prefer not to use an AC adapter). First of all, it's a quartz metronome, so it's tempo is perfectly accurate. One of the first things I did was set both metronomes to 120 bpm and sync them up. Within 5 seconds it was obvious that the wooden Wittner simply didn't keep as accurate of time. I never realized it, but as the Wittner winds down (you have to wind them instead of using a power supply), its timing slows down slightly. You'd never notice it unless you synced it against a quartz or digital metronome, but it definitely does. Download a metronome app and you'll see and hear what I mean. Secondly, the Seiko has a volume control, which, for me, is a revelation. I like it because I can make it soft, but if loud is what you're looking for, this Seiko gets LOUD! Last but not least, it never exhibits the annoying sympathetic vibrations that Wittners occasionally do on larger grands. Now you might be wondering, "Why not just use a free metronome app?" Well, for starters, the Seiko props up very nicely, and it's extremely easy to see and change the tempo by spinning the wheel adjustment. With any digital metronome, you're putting it in your hand and pressing buttons. Plus the Seiko looks good sitting on your piano - very professional (hey, it matters). I hate to come off as a snob about this kind of thing, but if you're a serious pianist, you should have a dedicated metronome, and after using over ten different kinds, I promise that this is the one to get. It does everything you want a metronome to do. I sold my Wittner on ebay for $112, so the Seiko is a bargain besides. Note: I feel I should compare this to the Wittner MT70, which is very similar. While the MT70 offers more beat options, several things make it inferior to the Seiko. 1) the stand stinks. I've had it fall over more times than I can count. 2) it only has one click sound instead of two, so you'd better like that sound. 3) no AC adapter plug, which means batteries only. 4) the tempo adjustment dial is smaller, harder to read, and trickier to turn. With the Seiko you can use one hand to adjust the tempo dial. With the MT70, you have to hold it and use your thumb. Trust me, it's not as good, and I wanted to like the MT70 because it's cheaper. Bottom line: the Seiko SQ70 is the best piano metronome I've ever used. Review: Great single purpose metronome - This unit replaces a Seiko SQM349 quartz metronome I purchased about 20 years ago. I loved that one and only replaced it because the speaker quit working. This unit is a little larger with essentially the same features. A controllable volume tempo tone that can be quite loud if need be, or just lights to keep time to. It keeps various beats by sound as well as lights. It also has a headphone out jack if you want to hear but not be heard. It won't pack your lunch for you but it does very well what it was designed to do; be a metronome. Buy it for your childrens piano lessons and you'll be using it 20 years from now, if they don't take it with them! ## Features - Quartz Metronome With Easy Operation Tempo Dial. - Highly Visual Tempo Indicator With 9 Leds. - High Quality & Larger Sound From A 57mm Dynamic Speaker. - Refer to the Instruction Manual in the Product Details. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000R27VSK | | Batteries | 1 9V batteries required.

It's not a drum machine, but I appreciate the choice of accents that delineate 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, etc. I also like that I can adjust the volume from very soft to quite loud. If you need a great time-keeper, this unit is just what the music teacher ordered. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/22841285-quartz-metronome-sq70](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/22841285-quartz-metronome-sq70) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
