A classic vintage mechanical metronome by Paquet of France, housed in its traditional pyramid-shaped wooden case and retaining its original removable dust cover. This elegant timekeeper remains in good working order and produces the steady audible beat that has guided musicians through practice sessions for generations.
Manufactured in France and bearing the original Paquet maker's plaque, the metronome follows the iconic Maelzel design that became the standard for musicians, music teachers and conservatories throughout the 20th century. The warm polished wooden case gives it a timeless appearance, making it equally appealing as a decorative object in a study, library, music room or creative workspace.
The mechanism operates correctly, with the adjustable pendulum allowing a range of tempos for different musical styles and practice requirements. A wonderful piece for pianists, violinists, guitarists, composers and collectors of musical instruments.
Good vintage condition with age-related wear, minor marks and surface imperfections consistent with age and use. Working order
Measures approximately 23cm (9.1 inches) tall.
