In my office you will find me using on a daily basis this “antique” metronome which students I have heard sometimes refer to as the retronome. It isn’t that old, my parents gave it to me in high school! It is still pretty accurate and I like not only the “natural” sound of the mechanical action (not an electronic beeping sound–I can take those in small does but over days of lessons one after another the beeping would make me nuts) but also it is easy on the eye; the case (as is clearly noted on a label on the bottom) is solid walnut!
How many electronic gadgets made today will still work as well as this metronome when they are thirty some years old?
