There are a few iPhone apps if you are interested. Or, buy a digital metronome (sorry I don’t know the brand. I saw my son’s piano teacher has it. It looks like user friendly).

Yes, I have used those iPhone apps, and they are pretty cool. Some have features where you can tap on screen, and it tells you the speed. Problem is, they are often interrupted by incoming calls, notifications, SMSes, etc.


Was wondering if there are any digital dedicated metronomes with these functions. I bought a Yamaha device recently, but it is not too user friendly. Too much pressing of buttons to adjust speed, and cannot turn off sound while making adjustments.

Anyone has a good metronome model to recommend? I used to have one about 20 years ago, but recently it's spoilt. There seems to be very few models out in the market now, and not very user friendly.

I am using this one for my studio and practice.

Its really really loud so suitable even for those pieces that go very very loud.

Thanks Dreamaurora, that looks exactly like what I need.

Renner Music sells piano extenders. And I happen to be around the shop when someone was making the purchase, can’t recall the price that transacted between them though.

I have one and I use it for my teaching and my concerts. Not all places have the extender, so for concerts have to bring out myself. The only place I am aware have an extender is the hall at Kawai Elite, though strangely Robert Piano does not sell the extenders.

Yup, I use local taobao agent to ship it to Singapore, very convenient.

How to search for pedal extender on Taobao? Do you have a link? Or at least the chinese word?

BTW, do you know if there's adjustable children cello chairs/stools then?
