 Great for the Price April 29, 2006

This is chock full of features and hands-down the best budget portable metronome on the market, with only one caveat which'll be mentioned later. A terrific buy for students.
Battery life is great, getting around 200 hours out of two AAs. The display is clear and easy to read. I've dropped it once and it didn't cause any problems. For a digital metronome, the beep isn't an irritating chirp as some other metronomes tend to be.
It can generate any tone on the chromatic scale for manual tuning, and even allows you to adjust the pitch slightly away from A440 if you need to (sometimes necessary, especially for wind players playing outdoors in the extreme cold)
It can handle 1 - 7 beats per measure, and can give you triplets, 8ths or 16th notes on top of that.
It has a handy tap feature to determine tempo.
This isn't perfect, it's not a Dr. Beat (the best metronome on the market, period). The volume control is very sensitive, and if you have it in your pocket you can easily accidentally blast your ears with headphones on. An LED would be a nice addition.
The caveat mentioned earlier is this: Most people prefer a dial to adjust tempo as opposed to the up and down buttons of this model (The Matrix MR500, MR800 and the Seiko SQ50 have less features and lack a volume control, but do have a dial and LED). Still, for the price and the features, you can't beat it.
Great special features at a great price! November 10, 2006

The KORG MA-30 is a great buy! It has a built-in tuner(for every note), more than sufficient volume, and is very easy to use. In addition, the musician can simply adjust the metronome so that it plays on certain parts of the beat. For example, the KORG MA-30 can play triplets, swing eighth notes, or on the first and fourth sixteenth notes, when the style or rhythmic pattern demands it. It is also small and compact, and very transportable...a lot of POW for the price!
A great metronome for the price. September 20, 2007

I wanted a metronome that was small enough to carry in a gig bag, and had a decent click sound. I chose this because it sounds good, and does not have an irritating beep sound like the ones from Quick Time.
Excellent, light and easy handling. June 27, 2006

Very good for who needs of training with alternatives of speeds beats. It is extremely light and with a very practical handling. I recommend.
Excellent value for acoustic guitarists! October 6, 2009

The Korg name has a great reputation for it's other products and the Korg MA-30 Compact Digital Metronome caries on their well earned reputation for affordable tools for musicians. I purchased this on the recommendation of a friend of mine that is a guitarist. I have tinnitus in both ears and needed a metronome that I could adjust the volume on. When I first tried the Korg MA-30 I was pleased to discover it had a pleasant chirping tone (unlike slightly cheaper digital metronomes which have an annoying mechanical and rather percussive ticking tone. Anyone with tinnitus can attest to that problem. The result is that rather than provide a steady background beat to follow one teeth are set on edge!).
For that reason I would not recommend this for musicians who need a louder beat. This metronome is, however, perfect for acoustic guitarists and has a great range of features for a great price. It is small and is the same shape and size as the Korg tuners which I also highly recommend. It will fit in most pockets of guitar cases and you can take it with you for rehearsals and will fit on your music stand. It also comes with a little stand on the back side of its casing that can be pulled out so it can be set on any flat surface such as a desk or table. I also like that it is colored blue, so that I can distinguish it from my tuner which also is a Korg and has the same design. Buy it. It's a great value.
