T...A few years ago I played tuba in a German band. The director liked to start the polkas with just the tuba setting the tempo by playing the first and third beats. I purchased a metronome that has a toggle-type switch on it. One way it clicks off the beat and the other way it just has a little red light that flashes the beat with no sound at all. The light is what I used for getting the band going at the correct tempo. I don't know that it's proper to mention brand names here so will just say that it cost in the neighborhood of $30. The battery is a 9 volt and lasts a long time. Of course, as I mentioned in commenting on Robert's blog the other day, it did gather a lot of dust so maybe the battery hasn't been put to the real test. Now, with Robert's suggestions, I'll get a chance to really check out how long the battery will last.<br>Bill LittleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435435637620590593.post-40584823125242750462006-07-15T06:34:00.000-07:002006-07-15T06:34:00.000-07:00Nice user-friendly blog page.ThanksNice user-friendly blog page.<br>ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435435637620590593.post-91154755626334561362006-07-17T15:58:00.000-07:002006-07-17T15:58:00.000-07:00You can use brand names here as far as I'm concern...You can use brand names here as far as I'm concerned as long as no one uses this forum to sell things or there is no libel involved.<br><br>One of my portable battery metronomes has a display of a dozen or more LEDs that give a kind of visual representation of the pendulum of a wind up model.
