 Good simple metronome Mar 05, 2010
Great for simple use. It has a visual of the metronome on the screen so that is good. You can change the pitch of the sound, and I think you can also keep specific bpm in the memory. This product was recommended to me.

 Very annoying sound Mar 04, 2010
Korg has packed a lot of nice features into a small package, but as soon as I put in the batteries and turned it on, my entire family (including me) laughed and said "we have to return it." The little high-pitched beeps it makes are ridiculous -- a high tone for the interior beats and an even higher tone for the downbeats. They sound almost EXACTLY like the beeps in the German "da da da" song that a Volkswagen TV commercial made famous. You can hear it here: [...]
I can't imagine playing a serious piano piece with that thing chirping away. Someone must make a digital metronome with a better sound, but we're probably going to play it safe and order a mechanical one.
 Meets My Acoustic Finger Style Needs Feb 18, 2010
As an acoustic guitar player in training, via Pete Huttlinger's DVD's, I needed a metronome to improve my timing and strengthen my technique. Never bought a metronome before; read the reviews, didn't want to crush the budget- the Korg MA-30 works nicely.
Small, simple, made in Vietnam, plastic- it's just a little circuit board with a screen and a little speaker. Runs on 2 little batteries provided. Just how durable and lasting it is, time will tell. My guess is as long as I don't smash it or dip it, it'll be ok.
For the total novice like me, it operates easily. Set the beat, speed, adjust the volume. I like the tap button to match up with a song you might hear and want to play at the same rate. They also include a scale that sounds the respective frequency like a tuner of sorts. And you can mute the 'click' and simply watch the screen, if you wish, for what that's worth.
The cons- limited volume; Two guitar players should be alright depending on how loud one strums. I do mostly finger style- no problem. Best suited, I believe, for the single player who wants to store it in their case or pocket and likes convenience.
Good Metronome Feb 18, 2010
One of the nicest surprise features of this metronome is the ability to change the volume. We hadn't looked for that specifically, but it's awfully nice. It's a little more complicated to tap in a beat than it probably should be, but it's easy enough that the kids can do it themselves. Lots of nice features for an inexpensive metronome.
Good for what it is Feb 17, 2010
This is a nice little (and it IS little, much smaller than I thought) portable metronome. I wouldn't recommend this to be your only metronome, especially if you're a drummer, as it does have its limitations already pointed out by the other reviewers. I bought it mainly to use with a practice pad, and to have with me at rehearsals and gigs. The earphone feature is kind of a joke - one volume level, and it only plays out of the left ear. Had I realized that, I'm not sure I would have purchased it. However, now knowing that, considering the price and the size of it, I'll deal with it.
And, for you blasters out there that are worried about it only going up to 208BPM...why not just set it to 120/125BPM and play 32nd notes? You won't be able to figure out the tempo of a song using the tap feature if the song is faster than 208BPM, but the 208BPM limitation shouldn't limit how fast you can practice with it.
