Customer Reviews
Arrived defective.... 
2008-01-10
This item arrived with a problem. I couldn't turn the volume up (a dial) in 'metronome' mode without the screen going crazy, giving one more 'beat' then turning itself off; and could not be restarted at the highest volume. I will say that the one beat I did get to hear at the highest volume was pretty weak. The overall feel/look of the product is that it is very cheaply made. And the problem with the volume dial/metro mode confirms this. Had it worked properly, I'd still have been disappointed.
Perfect for Beginning Guitar 
2007-05-05
I am learning the guitar and this product is perfect for helping me to tune my guitar and to keep the beat. I LOVE it and it has been a saving grace!
Just not loud enough... 
2007-04-10
The features on this metronome are very useful, especially the digital tuner. The only problem is the volume. Even when I turn up the volume to the maximum, it's still not loud enough to be heard over my piano-banging!
If it were able to produce a louder beat, then I would give it 5 stars...
Almost unuseable 
2007-02-10
I got this because I really wanted a tuner with a tone generator, and this one was the only cheap one that I could find with that feature. The tone generator could be louder, but I don't have a big problem with it. The real issue I have is with the tuner function--it just doesn't seem to respond to ANYTHING I play on trombone. The needle moves very slowly and takes a long time to react after I make any adjustments, so I end up over-correcting and doing more harm to my pitch than good. I've noticed that the needle reacts more normally to my voice, so other instruments might be safe, but trombonists should avoid this tuner.
Sabine MT-9000 is great 2007-02-06
This was a gift for someone. I have one that has given me good service for some time.

Excellent response 2005-08-24
I had the same problem with the note indicator that Mr. Bateman had until I realized a trumpet is a B-flat instrument but Sabine MT9000 tuner is made for C instruments. Transposing is easy, but it even easier to simply ignore the note indicator and rely only on the pitch indicator. I already know what note I'm playing. Wind instrument players should be careful not to add vibrato when using tuners. I ended up buying a Sabine MT8000 that has a much louder metronome and it transposes. It's great.
Not for any brass or any loud instrument 2005-02-08
Like the previous reviewer, I too find the metronome to be too quiet, at least for a trumpet player. The volume is turned up full but I still cannot hear it.
I question the accuracy of the tuner. My current trumpet is of the low-end, and I suspected it of playing a little flat, but the tuner tells me it's at least one full step below. Based on my neighbor's piano, it's not THAT flat.
Don't make the same mistake I did.
Not for trombones 2005-01-08
The metronome function is decent, but could be louder.
The tuner cannot register any notes in the bottom third of my tenor trombone range. Whenever I play a low note, the tuner gets utterly confused and becomes unable to register higher notes as well. Definitely don't buy this tuner if you're a low brass player. Perhaps this tuner was meant for string instruments?
If you're looking for an excellent tuner, I highly recommend the Boss TU-12H.
