Hi,
Does anyone here know how the metronome looked like at the time of Stradivari?
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Mayra

I've looked it up on Wikipedia, and it seems the thing was not invented until 1812.

Greetings,
only Wikipedia could confuse a small machine that ticks with one of the most harrowing examples of human stupidity in history even if we do loathe the little bugger at times....
Cheers,
Buri

Buri, I agree with you, but I know that some people consider playing with a metronome to be a lot of fun.
