I'm looking for a metronome as a step up from my basic electronic machine. Any reccomendations?

CAn you still get the Mundobeat that used to be available a couple of years ago?

Hi Martin,
I think I saw a similar kind of post on another Forum.
As a hardware Engineer, I could design and build such a metronome, (I already have), but the way I see it is this...

To spend about $25 on components $10 on a printed circuit board and a further $15 say on a suitable housing, plus say about 1.5 hours assembly time each one, with hand soldering, drilling and fitting, and then sell it for $100, to maybe a worldwide customer base of 100 very picky customers who will plague you about how can I get it to do this and how can I get it to do that etc and can you supply examples with tabs and mp3's to illustrate what you mean....and why is it so expensive for a cheap little gizmo like that??

Would you buy shares in that business?

I rest my case...[:D]

cheers

Ron

Martin,
I bought the Mundobeat a year ago from Flamenco Connection in USA (I'm in UK) and it's certainly as good as it sounds at http://www.ugcarray.com/vko/. I'd heard mixed reviews but am very impressed with its robustness and ergonomics. Really easy to use in all modes. You MUST heed the warnings about battery consumption though; an AC adapter is not just an option! Luckily these are very cheap at your local hardware store. Yes it's expensive but, as Ron says, it is hardly catering for a mass market. Get one while you still can.

Henrik,

My guitars are so cheap, that it's almost like giving them away.[8D]

The buttons, you have to ask your social service center. Maybe they will allow you to have some installed by the local Doctor.
