Metronome A device invented to help musicians practice playing in time. It was originally a pendulum weighted on both sides that could create a steady beat. There are now electronic, quartz and application versions of metronomes. They can be set to different speeds from very slow to very fast. The speed or tempo is measured in bpm or beats per minute and can go from 40-250. The top and bottom speeds of metronomes can vary depending on the metronome (especially applications).
