Wittner Metronome 816 with Bell

I expected better manufacturing. The visible parts are pretty and made of wood. The part of the base is made of hard plastic. The three legs on which it rests are also plastic without any pad to mitigate vibrations. I have the metronome on the piano and it is often a source of vibrations. Inside, the gears are made of white plastic. I suppose it will be the best but it is one more example that the things of now are not like those of before nor even paying a high price.
