🏭 About Wittner — 125+ Years of Precision
1895: Precision Engineering from Isny
Gustav Wittner founded a precision mechanical factory for metronome production in Isny im Allgäu in 1895. His son Rudolf expanded it into a medium-sized industrial plant. Alongside the traditional Mälzel metronomes, Wittner introduced the proprietary Taktell® trademark — which soon became a byword for quality among musicians in many countries worldwide.
From Mechanics to Innovation
Horst Wittner joined the company in 1967. From 2005 to 2024 the third and fourth generations — Horst and Sabrina Wittner — ran the business together. Wittner is today a division of GEWA Music GmbH. The company's philosophy has always been to combine tradition with the latest manufacturing technology: from the classic pendulum to Finetune-Pegs and composite-material tailpieces.
The World's Widest Metronome Range
Wittner produces the world's widest range of metronomes — from the pocket-sized Piccolino to the classic wooden Maelzel. The Taktell® trademark has become synonymous with the metronome for hundreds of thousands of musicians globally. Every metronome is manufactured in Isny to split-second precision.

⏱️ Taktell® Metronomes — Complete Range
Taktell® is the world's most recognised pendulum metronome series. Every model is made in Isny, Germany, and designed to meet the specific needs of a particular type of player.
Taktell® Piccolo (Series 830)
The legendary compact model — the world's best-selling Wittner metronome. Small casing, standard pendulum mechanism and a clear, crisp tick. The ideal choice for students, beginners and anyone practising at home or on the go. Available in a range of casing colours.
Taktell® Classic (Series 829)
A classic design in a traditional casing with the pendulum clearly visible during use. Temperature-compensated mechanism for consistent precision at any ambient temperature. Bell option available (with or without). The dependable daily-practice choice for music school and conservatoire students.
Taktell® Junior (Series 820)
An accessible entry-level Taktell® for beginners and younger students. Lightweight casing, intuitive to use. Simple, robust construction — the right first metronome for a child who is just starting out with an instrument.
Taktell® Animals (Series 839)
A children's metronome series in bright, animal-shaped casings. The same reliable Taktell® mechanism in a fun design that makes practising with a metronome engaging and enjoyable for young players. A popular gift for little musicians.
Taktell® Quartz QM2 (Series 861)
A quartz pendulum metronome — the look of a traditional mechanical pendulum combined with quartz accuracy. The ideal choice for players who want the classic aesthetic of a mechanical metronome alongside electronic-grade precision. Compact and reliable.
Taktell® Super-Mini (880) and Piccolino (890)
Super-Mini is one of the smallest pendulum metronomes Wittner makes — it fits in a coat pocket. The 880.2 update features a refreshed design. Piccolino takes compactness even further for players who need maximum portability. Both models use the same proven Taktell® mechanism in a minimal form factor.
🎼 Maelzel Metronomes — The Classic
Maelzel in Wooden Casing
Wittner's most prestigious line. The classic trapezoidal wooden casing, pendulum with sliding weight, and the characteristic ticking click. The wooden Maelzel has been a symbol of music education for over a century. Manufactured in Isny to an unchanged specification since production began.
Maelzel in Plastic Casing
The same proven Maelzel mechanism in a modern plastic casing. Lighter and more accessible than the wooden version, but with identical precision and tone. The practical choice for everyday classroom or home use.
Maelzel Designer Series
A limited Wittner designer edition in distinctive, unusual finishes. Collectible appeal combined with the full functionality of a classic Maelzel metronome. An excellent gift for a musician, teacher or collector.
MT-50 Metronome (Quartz Electronic)
Wittner MT-50 electronic quartz metronome. Tempo range: 40–208 BPM, 39 positions. Indication: LED + click sound. Reference pitch: A 440 Hz. Mini earphone jack. Power: 9 V battery. Accuracy: ±0.05%. A compact, feature-complete tool for focused tempo work — and discreet enough for silent practice with earphones.
🔩 Wittner Finetune-Pegs — A Revolution in Tuning
The Finetune-Peg looks like a traditional wooden peg on the outside but houses a precision fine-tuning mechanism inside. No fine-tuner screws on the tailpiece — a direct, precise and elegant solution that cleans up the instrument's appearance while improving tuning accuracy.
Finetune-Pegs for Violin
For violin 4/4–3/4: model 270111M (dia. 8.6 mm) and 270111S (dia. 7.8 mm). For violin 1/2–1/4: 270131S (dia. 7.2 mm). All with taper 1:30. Head colour: black or rosewood-coloured. Available individually or in sets of four. Compatible with standard peg holes on any violin.
Finetune-Pegs for Viola and Cello
Dedicated series for viola and cello with appropriate taper and diameter specifications for each instrument. Wittner is one of very few manufacturers to offer Finetune-Pegs across the full range of bowed string instrument sizes. Made in Isny to the same precision standards as the metronomes.
Finetune-Pegs for Ukulele and Flamenco Guitar
A unique product on the market: Wittner Finetune-Pegs for ukulele and flamenco guitar fitted with friction pegs. Retains the classic appearance of the instrument while providing the tuning accuracy that friction pegs alone cannot match. Also available for oriental instruments with similar peg configurations.
Why Choose Finetune-Pegs
Traditional wooden peg look, precision fine-tuning performance. Removing fine-tuner screws from the tailpiece opens the option of using a simpler ULTRA tailpiece — which can noticeably improve resonance. The dedicated peg winder 270W is included (compatible with violin, viola, flamenco guitar and ukulele). Made in Germany.
🎻 Wittner Tailpiece ULTRA — Ultra-Light Tailpiece
Tailpiece ULTRA — High-Tech Composite
Made from a proprietary "high-tech" composite material: exceptionally strong and exceptionally light at the same time. Four integrated fine-tuner screws and a nylon tailgut included. Available in black (with black or gilded screws) and rosewood-coloured finish. Covers violin sizes from 4/4 down to 1/16, viola and cello.
Tailpiece ULTRA Multi System (918411)
A landmark Wittner innovation: the world's first tailpiece that allows the tailpiece-to-bridge length to be adjusted by up to 5 mm on a fully strung instrument — through the simple turn of a single screw. No need to remove any strings. An indispensable tool for luthiers and players seeking the precise acoustic setup that traditional tailpieces cannot offer.
Tailpiece ULTRA for 5 Strings
Models 918111-5 and 918111-5G — the ULTRA tailpiece with five fine-tuner screws for five-string violins. Meets the same quality standard as the standard four-string versions. Black or gilded screws available.
Tailpiece Hangers and String Adjusters
Wittner also manufactures tailpiece hangers (tailgut loops) and string adjusters (fine-tuner screws) as individual components — for bowed and plucked string instruments. The latest string adjuster versions are compatible with a wide range of instruments from violin to guitar.
🎵 Wittner Isny Shoulder Rest
Shoulder Rest Isny — Made in Germany
Named after the town where it is made — Isny im Allgäu. Ultra-light, hypoallergenic, dismantles into small parts for compact storage. No effect on the instrument's sound. Ergonomic design with very flexible adaptation to the shoulder. Compatible with all Wittner chin rest models. A screwdriver for adjustment is included in the package.

Wittner Chin Rests
Wittner produces chin rests for violin and viola in classic shapes, designed specifically to integrate with the Isny shoulder rest system. Materials are selected with care — hypoallergenic variants are available for players who experience skin reactions to conventional chin rest materials.
Peg ULTRA and Peg Shaper
The Wittner Peg ULTRA is a traditional peg with a special surface treatment for improved grip in the peg box. The Peg Shaper is a tool for cutting the correct 1:30 or 1:25 taper on conventional wooden pegs. An essential accessory for luthiers and players who service their own instruments.
🎶 Tuning Forks, Music Stands and Guitar Accessories
