Keep perfect time with this early 20th century metronome by Maelzel in full working order.
The Maelzel metronome, a key innovation in music, was patented in 1815 by Johann Nepomuk Maelzel, a German inventor and impresario. Based on earlier designs by Dietrich Nikolaus Winkel, Maelzel refined the device for precision in musical timing. His metronome gained widespread adoption after endorsement by composers like Beethoven. The device uses a weighted pendulum to produce regular beats, revolutionising music practice and composition. Maelzel's metronomes remain iconic in the evolution of musical instrumentation.
