When you’re holding a liveperformance, you may want to conceal your metronome from your audience. This is mostly so that you don’t look like a beginner.
If you do want to show it, at least make it a mechanical one that people will enjoy looking at.
Thus, we’ve compiled a list of what we think are the best metronomes for you to buy if you’re holding liveperformances.
They are chosen to either be tiny enough to hide them from the audience, or elegant enough so you won’t be ashamed to show them off.
Note:Deals are subject to change. Keep in mind that the price tag often varies. We recommend going on the vendor’s website to check the price. Some products may be out of stock by the time you’ve made your purchasing decision. So, hurry up and hit the buy button.
What are the best metronomes for live performances?
KLIQ MetroPitch
Since live performances need to go impeccably, having a tuner, metronome and tone generator all in one device is one way to make sure things will be OK.
The metronome component is extremely easy to use, and it supports a broad range of 30-250 Beats Per Minute, tap tempo, and various beats and rhythm patterns.
Seiko SQ50-V
The Seiko SQ50-V is a good metronome thanks to the unique way it lets you know you should maintain a tempo.
Instead of a ticking sound that may be difficult to hear during an on-stage performance, you had a red LED light that flashes that you will easily be able to keep up with.
Tempi Metronome
The only mechanical metronome on our list, the Tempi Metronome is a wonder to behold especially in the case of orchestral live performances.
You won’t be ashamed to show this little gadget on-stage, especially if you’ll be playing instruments such as cello, violin, piano, or others of the sort.
BOSS DB-90
The BOSS DB-90 looks like a simple electronic metronome, but it is unique in its own way since it doesn’t use regular ticks or other similar sounds to help you keep up the tempo.
Instead, it uses a human-like voice that counts your tunes, making you feel like your coach is there with you, even while on stage.
Korg MA-2
The Korg MA-2 is probably the most simple and modern metronome on our list, thanks to the innovative, and now larger, Beat Counting display.
It features 9 beats and 8 patterns that offer rhythmic diversity, and the tempo can be set three ways: full steps, pendulum steps, and tap tempo button.
It is easy to get caught up in the heat of the moment and lose a bit of tempo during really intense moments on stage, so having a trusty metronome is something that even veteran musicians do.
Thus, try to have a metronome that you can easily notice since you’ll have to focus both on it, and on the song that you are playing at the same time.
