Yamaha Adds New Metronome
 July 23, 1999With an eye toward expanding its already-popular metronome line, Yamaha
Corporation of America introduces theQT1BR quartz metronome with wood-grain
finish at Summer NAMM '99. The distinctive contemporary design joins the
QT1 teal and black models in the marketplace. The QT1BR provides features
such as volume control and two beat sounds that cannot be found on other
metronomes priced in the same range.
"The QT1 has been such a popular series that we wanted to make
it attractive to the thousands of pianists who have been using the same
old metronomes for decades," says Dave Ominsky, Accessory marketing
manager. "The new wood finish looks very much at home on a piano
and will appeal to the aesthetics of many piano owners."
The QT1BR maintains all of the popular features of the QT1, including
an easy-to-adjust tempo dial that provides a range of 40-208 beats per
minute and a red indicator light to signal the beat. It also provides
an A4-440 Hz tone for tuning instruments when an electronic tuner is not
available. For more information,
