Thinking about picking one of these up, can anyone attest to the loudness of the metronome and does the metronome play eight notes as well?

I found it quite loud enough (before I punctured an eardrum!) In any case you, you can always plug a cable into the 1/8" receptacle and hook it up to an amplifier. The metronome section is entirely separate from the tuning section, but it uses only 1 or 2 tones. The scale of the tuning section is 12 notes (equal temperament only, unfortunately), but its reference tones (which it produces) go from C3 (130.81Hz) to C6 (1046.50 Hz). It can detect tones from C1 (32.70 Hz) to C8 (4186.01 Hz.)

I'm not sure how to attest to the loudness - what to compare it to, but comparing it to others I've had in the past, I do feel this one is louder. If you can think of something for me to compare it to, I'd be glad to do so. As to the eighth notes - yes, it does play them...as well as triplets, and others. I highly recommend this device.

Absolutely perfect. No problem playing through three octaves with only minor intonation challenges which a beginner player wouldn't even be able to tell for years. Valves have good action and all the slides worked smoothly. It is absolutely a steal at 120.00. Hope that helps.

This is one ot he best items for historic tuning and temperaments, The LCD Text needs no light, by itself you can see better, if not try with reading glasses like me, else I couldn't read it too! More on this subject: Have you tuned your keyboard or instrument in A = 428 Hz? It is much better for your voice and health!

I'm using one right now. The media keys for next/last track, play/pause, stop, and mute all work. The volume knob doesn't, nor do the programmable keys along the top above the function keys. I like the way the keyboard types and I don't use those other keys at all so it isn't much of a detriment to me. I do wish the volume knob worked but that's about it.

I am very happy with my 6004 model. It is a great value. A store could maybe play both units side by side of sound reproduction. Checking features out would show you other differences that might not be associated with music quality.

This is not the loudest Metronome and its loud enough for me, but I used it to play my Double bass with is a loud instrument, the beat is a computer not wooden beat, with i love from it, its that is a great multitask device, with the tuner and the play back is amazing, but i don't know if you are going to be taking advantage of those features, since is for playing piano.RubenEdit: I agreed with John

Hi Eliahu, It has 2 speaker with 54 keys. It's surprisingly loud; even when it's set to volume level 2

It dose fine for me. I play both in side bars / clubs and outside events. Most of your loudness is adjusted on your amp or the mixer board. It doesn't have a volume control on it. But I haven't had any problem with it. I plan on getting another one for my 12 string.

Mine sounds great, only on volume number 22. I played MP3 via a flash drive, sounds really good, even at higher volume.

No, on the one I bought the C key actually played the note B flat. I assume all of them would be tuned slightly different though. Hard to fine tune a cheap toy. BUT IT IS POLYPHONIC!!

I have no experience with the PSW505 or PL-200 so I can't vouch for them. However, I can say a bit about the Sub-12HG. IN MY OPINION this sub is not very "musical". It doesn't play upper frequencies (60Hz+) very well and isn't very accurate (punchy). On the other hand, this sub is excellent for low frequency needs (down to around 25Hz-40Hz). I have found that it produces more quantiful bass rather than tight and accurate bass. Therefore, it CAN be great for movies, some rap/hip-hop -- pretty much anything needing strictly low end boom. I personally would not advise it for just music use. This is based on my personal experience. I have no experience with the PSW505 or PL-200 so I can't vouch for them.

The Martin-Logan literature says 42-22000 Hz +- 3 dB. So it misses the first octave. The rest of the spectrum sounds smooth and clean.

I am not a professional so please take it for what it is worth. I believe it has 101 sounds or more, I have the instrument packed away for the moment. I really p I've the piano sounds fantastic to me. I really am not qualified to give you the best advise pertainf this but all the instruments in the keyboard are close to what I know. Hope that helps, you probably better off soulistening to it yourself. If I get a chance to pull it out I will make a video of the sounds. Can't make promises .

I bought the GEC8 live instead...very reliable with more functionality (midi, etc). Love it

It Is Mono So It Is 400 RMS For Both Subs Not Per...And You Might Want More Watts...I Do...400 Does Not Get The Ultra Low Notes Enough Punch

I can not answer in terms of a direct comparison as I have not had the opportunity to do that. I can say that I am satisfied with the Hohner in my context which is using it for right hand practice or exploring melody for my accordion learning efforts.

I'm mostly a drummer so I can't say about the 6505 with any authority though reviews I've read about it seem to be favorable, this is one of the main reasons I bought it. As for volume, oh yeah, it's bloody loud. I use the sponge to keep it at the lowest setting, 5 watts or what have you. But even then I don't have it turned up. But being who I am I cranked it pretty good once, it's would be good especially for rehearsal. A gig would really depend on the venue but most large gigs you mic the amps and go through the PA.
