 Slightly disappointing January 27, 2007

I definitely agree with the other reviews that note this metronome's quietness. That is the biggest problem I have with it. Unless I plug my headphones into it, which is not always convenient, I have trouble hearing it "click" when I practice, even on piano. Also, because of the power button, I think mine has gone on often and drained my batteries easily. And currently, mine is working at all even though it was about a week ago when I put new batteries in, so I don't know if they were just drained again, or something else is wrong this time.

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 February 8, 2005

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 January 9, 2005

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.
