This is a relatively basic, but good quality, metronome that has the advantage of using two aaa batteries as opposed to most other metronomes that use button batteries. I use mine to improve my mandolin playing and it works a charm.

This product fits perfectly into my daughters clarinet case. The volume is perfect, tone excellent. It works well for her practising orchestral pieces.
The standard in compact metronomes. Keep the beat steady using this Korg MA-1 metronome that features a clear Beat Counting displayshowing the number of beats, current beat and beats remaining, and features 3 tempo-setting methods for ease of use.
The MA-1 is a compact metronome that solidly covers all the basics with a broad tempo range and a rich variety of beats and rhythm patterns. The MA-1 also shows the beat in an innovative way that makes practicing easier. With reliable functionality, this is an indispensible rhythm training aide for any musician.
Features
New easy-to-understand Beat-Counting display
With the new Beat-Counting display, the number of triangular icons in the
display indicates the specified beat. On each beat, the icon color changes
(moving from left to right), indicating the current beat of the measure in a way
that's intuitively clear. This provides visual cues as to when measures will
change – a helpful advance over metronomes that provide only an audible
indication.
Versatile Tempo & Rhythm features
The tempo can be set using one of three methods: increase or decrease the tempo
using the standard increments familiar from a mechanical metronome (pendulum
steps); increase or decrease the tempo in single-step increments over the full
range of 30–252 (full steps), or use the Tap Tempo function to enter the tempo
by pressing the switch in time with the music. Practice a wide variety of songs
by specifying any beat count from 1 to 9, and choose any one of the eight
rhythm types: quarter notes, eighth notes, triplets (straight triplets, triplets
with inner beat omitted, triplets with the third beat omitted), and sixteenth
notes (quadruplets, quadruplets with middle beats omitted, quadruplets with the
third and fourth beats omitted).
Doubles as a chromatic tuner!
Sound Out mode produces a reference pitch (selectable over an octave C4-B4) that
you can use when tuning nearly any instrument. The frequency of the A4 reference
pitch (calibration) can be adjusted in 1 Hz steps over the broad range of
410 Hz to 480 Hz.
Earphone jack for personal use
An earphone output is provided for personal use. The earphone volume can be
adjusted to suit for any situation; from private practice in your room to group
rehearsal in the studio.
Memory backup /auto power-off
When you turn off the power, the current tempo, beat, rhythm, calibration, and
reference tone settings will be remembered for the next time you use the MA-1.
(These settings will be initialized when you replace the batteries.) After
20 minutes of non-use with the power on, the power will automatically turn off
to preserve the battery life.
Up to 290 hours of continuous use
The MA-1 is designed for long battery life, with continuous operation of
approximately 70 hours when using zinc-carbon batteries, or approximately
290 hours when using alkaline batteries.
