I only post reviews if a product is terrible or if it is really excellent. This metronome is perfect. I have purchased several others over the years, including a small digital one recently that makes the most annoying beep sound. I have a Seiko metronome that makes a nice click sound, but the numbers on the dial are difficult to read, and the on-off switch is very small and awkward to use. It means that you pretty much leave the metronome going between practice songs, clicking away, driving you crazy. The Korg KDM-3 is well-designed in every way. You turn it on in standby mode with a little button on the side, and then you can make all your adjustments. One large button on top makes it start keeping time, and you touch that button again to stop it. The light that flashes at the set tempo is inside that large button, which makes it easy to click it off in a darkened room. The digital readout on the front is large and easy to read, and yet the metronome is not large overall. It is about half the size of an old wood wind-up metronome. There is a choice of different click sounds, excellent volume range, and tempo adjustment by single numbers instead of larger steps. This metronome is pricey compared to many others, but it is an excellent example of how you usually do get what you pay for. I recommend it without reservations. It is the perfect metronome.

I received this 7/19/2018 to add to my other Korg KDM-2 which I bought in September 2010. Using it the first time I like this Metronome as it is simple to use, you don't really need to read the directions it is that simple to use.It is a good quality With batteries the Korg KDM-2 weights 196 grams, 6.9oz and the KDM-3 is 160 grams 5.65oz which really doesn't make any difference. KDM-3 is 4 3/8" high and 2 1/8" wide.It is plenty loud enough for general use. The face does not light up. The batteries are a little hard to remove but you can get them out. It is a little smaller than what I thought it was going to be. No hissing noises.NOTE: Just as with the KDM-2 the KDM-3 will not work if you use Duracell Quantum aaa batteries. For some reason, they just won't work. I don't know what other ones won't either. I wonder how many people put new batteries in their Korg and it would not work so they threw it out? I just about did that.The only thing so far that I don't care for is the flashing light on top. I use mine with just the light flashing at times and the light is not as big, lower profile, as the one on the KDM-2 but it still usable.Update: 08/21/2022 I am still using this and it is working as it should and I still like this metronome. I still give it a five star rating.

I wanted something portable and easy to use with my music books. It needed the metronome to be loud for me to hear it over the accordion. The visuals and sound are great. My timing still stinks, but I have found where my mistakes are and can focus on getting more precise. I am very happy with the quality and have gone through a set of batteries! Played everyday for a couple of weeks before they needed changing (20 to 30 minute sessions). The different sounds are great, but I find myself using the drum stick clack the most. Great product!

This is the best metronome I've ever had (minus 1 phone app), but for the price I'm somewhat disappointed. I really feel like they went out of their way to make a few of the features on this irritating and with a few tweaks could have the perfect metronome.Pros:- Very loud on fresh batteries. Using its own speaker or going aux out, very loud. See con #1 though.- Keeps time- Headphone/aux out- Very handy stop/start button location- Very easy rotate the dial and press play operationCons:- Battery only and you start losing volume after about 12 hours and start really losing significant volume after 15-20 hours. On 4 AAA batteries is that bad? Objectively, probably not. This is the #1 and most major con though because the fix is put a 9v plug on and now you have the perfect tool. Insane to me that they didn't include this. I won't listen to the size argument, the thing is already huge. You're only drawing 6 volts from the AAA's. There's literally no argument against this feature other than being cheap.- Huge. Yes, I understand it's supposed to mimic a real metronome. But Korg didn't take advantage of all of the extra space and that is hard to understand.- Not immediately obvious how to get rid of the accented beat. Answer for everyone wondering - you can go down to 1 beat and then there's no accent. Annoying when you're trying to do specific patterns and would love to have a 3/4 beat with no accent. 1 simple button on the huge body of this thing fixes this.- Max of 252 bpm has been an issue a couple of times. There are valid uses for needing or wanting up to 380 bpm when trying to learn 8th and 16th note patterns on down and up beats and you want to be in time. It just clicks, let it click faster.

Absolutely excellent metronome. I did quite a bit of research to find the perfect metronome for my guitar playing and this is what I found. It has a really nice premium feel/look and doesn't look out of place at all on my piano or on my coffee table in my music room. It's a bit more expensive than most electronic metronomes but completely worth it. I couldn't find a mechanical one that was any good so this is the next best thing.

Usava o Korg TM-60 que é afinador e metrônomo que é excelente também mas para instrumentos de sopro precisava de um metrônomo que tivesse um volume alto suficiente para não ser abafado pelo som do saxofone, por recomendação comprei esse Korg KDM-3 e foi a melhor escolha, ele tem um design compacto e um falante que permite um volume bem alto, justamente o que eu precisava. As opções de marcação de compasso e os modos disponÃveis me ajudam muito na hora de estudar além de poder personalizar o som do metrônomo deixando perfeito para o que eu quero. Recomendo a qualquer musicista, não só de instrumentos de sopro mas para os demais também. Vale super a pena!
