  • Great mechanical metronome!
I bought this over other metronomes when I read a review saying it was quite loud. I teach violin and a metronome to expose beginning/intermediate students to practicing with them. Its loudness means it can be clearly heard while the student is playing alone or if I am playing with them. I had two much quieter metronomes I used with students before buying this one and they had trouble hearing and focusing on the quieter ones. I was afraid they wouldn’t like the loudness of this one but they seem to like it and find it helpful. Full disclosure- For my personal practice I do have one that is not quite as loud. I recommend this for teachers or for personal practice if you like a very strong sounding metronome. ... show more

  • Works very well
I prefer the analog click of a metronome to today's more common digital clicks, so I purchased this Yamaha unit. It works just fine, and is accurate. The drawback is you can only use the available tempo settings, rather than adjust to a precise number of clicks (e.g., if you want 83 beats per minute, you're out of luck with the Yamaha). It uses a windup key which winds 18 1/2 times and length of time it lasts depends on how fast you set the beats per minute. The metronome itself seems sturdy and well-made, and it looks nice. It is also stable; it doesn't rock on a flat surface and is not prone to tipping over. The beats are easy to set and the metronome is easy to use. ... show more

  • Excellent
Nice crisp pleasing tone, Not fancy, but pleasing and practical - Yamaha. Took a long time to get to me but worth it. There's something pleasing about having a physical metronome as opposed to digital - I've used both - sometimes it's just fun as you're working up a piece to use a physical metronome. I suspect this one is the best bang for buck on physical metronomes. When practicing guitar, I'll certainly run a digital metronome inline at night via a Vox Amplug or my Yamaha THR, depending on how big a setup I want. (why don't they build a metronome into these products!??!?) It IS nice to have something quiet to practice through. But during the day, with the various options within easy reach, I tend to reach for this metronome. Yamaha keeps making good things. I look around and realize how much Yamaha stuff I actually have. ...and I have a Yamaha SLG200NW silent guitar on the way right now! (classical guitarists - that particular model is the one you'd want, at least as of this review in jan 2019) I'm psyched! Anyway, great metronome - and the packaging was fantastic too. ... show more

  • Nice and loud!
Although the body feels kind of thin (it's plastic, not wood) and not particularly sturdy, this is an excellent metronome. It is LOUD and very mechanical sounding. I actually prefer that, rather than something that might sound more musical. Well worth the money.

  • A loud metronome.
Pro: A good and simple metronome. Easy to use and maintain. Stands firmly on the surface. Con: Way too loud. The sound can steadily penetrate wall/floor/door. Use it next to you can be painful.

  • The best looking, mediocre metronome on the market
The Yamaha MP-90 mechanical metronome has, in my eyes, arguably the most sophisticated and well sculpted form factor among all similar products on the market. The width at the top and that at the bottom are in perfect proportion. The flat top, which lowers the overall height and makes the top wider, gives the metronome a more elegant look. The corners of the body below the removable cover are rounded to a tasteful degree. The scale of tempo is much wider than those on most other similar products, which not only makes setting tempo much easier, but also enhances the aesthetics of the metronome. Regrettably, my appreciation of this product ends at its appearance. After I took it out of the box, the first downside point that grabbed my attention is the materials it is made of. As other reviewers have pointed out, this metronome is remarkably light. It’s obvious that the body is made of plastic. But the shell is not the only plastic part. I opened the bottom cover and found that only the bell and the counter weight at the bottom of the pendulum shaft are made of metal. All the cogs and axes of the movement are made of plastic. Some invisible parts, such as the spring, must be metal. The mostly plastic movement casts a big question mark in my mind about the durability of this mechanic instrument. Determined by the materials, the workmanship of this metronome is quite mediocre. Switching the beat selector feels loose and uncertain. When winding the spring, the whole movement inside the body is shaking, as if it is not firmly fixed to the body. The metronome Yamaha MP-90 is inaccurate. I measured it against a digital metronome and found it starting quite well but going off beat after a short while. The beats, however, are reasonably even in their own right at all tempos. Regardless of its inaccuracy, it is still usable as a training tool. After all, music performance is not a precise science. If you can flow this metronome, you will be able to keep tempo and beat in performances of any ensemble. Power reserve is another downside of this metronome. In my test, a fully wound spring lasted only 24 minutes at 90 bpm. That’s less than half of power reserve of some other mechanical metronomes. Telling by some earlier reviews, this product sold at this web page for $45 in 2017, and “less than $50” in 2018. When I placed my order on June 20, 2020, I paid $56.98. Before delivery reached my door, the list price raised to $59.98. The price hikes bespeak the popularity of this product. All in all, I am generally unsatisfied with the Yamaha MP-90. But I still decide to retain it for two reasons: its aesthetics and the fact that I cannot find a compelling alternative on the market. If a metronome comes with the same form factor of the Yamaha MP-90, but is made of a well polished wooden body and a metal movement with a more precise beat selector as well as greater power reserve, I am willing to pay five times of the current price. If the appearance of this metronome does not make that much of a difference to you, you would be much better off to choose a model with a metal movement for half of the price. ... show more

  • Thank you!
The metronome worked exactly as it should. Slightly more than I wanted to pay but it is the cost of quality. The metronome was well pakaged and arrived far quicker than the initial delivery estimate. It looks good and there are no issues with metronome have three rubber feet. Now my kids can practice their piano without having to use an electronic device. One less distraction to tempt them. ... show more

  • Loud, and well built.
Made out of high quality plastic and has a very nice and LOUD mechanical click and bell that you'll be able to hear over heavy piano or guitar playing. Perhaps at the risk of annoying anyone in adjacent rooms. Perfect metronome for people not looking to spend hundreds on a wooden one.
