This is a typical Japanese quality product. I needed just this one because:
- you can use silently, just with flashing (I am composer working at night, or you can use at the same time and record)
- it has somehow "wooden" sound, yet beautiful, not that cheap "beep"
- it has tuning A
- it is simple and strong quality
If you use it often, buy a rechargeable 9V battery (and recharger too)
