Wittner 811M Mechanical Metronome

Wittner 811M — A Classic Mechanical Metronome

Wittner 811M is a traditional wind-up metronome that helps musicians keep a steady tempo. Powered by a mechanical Maelzel clockwork, it needs no batteries — just wind the key and let the pendulum swing. Housed in a solid mahogany wood case with a silk-matte finish, this model is part of the Series 800/810, made in Germany. Ideal for students and home players wanting a simple practice tool.

What Makes It Special

Unlike digital metronomes, the 811M runs purely on a mechanical clockwork — no screens, no apps, no cables. The solid mahogany case gives it a warm, classic look on any music stand. Included is a built-in bell to mark the first beat of each bar, and you can switch it off whenever necessary.

Perfect for Students, Teachers, and Gift Buyers

The 811M suits beginner and intermediate players building solid timing habits, plus teachers needing a reliable classroom tool. A tempo range from 40 to 208 BPM covers slow practice through fast pieces. Durable and Made in Germany.
