Korg KDM 2 True Tone Advanced Digital Metronome
This easy-to-use digital metronome accurately marks the tempo visually and with a powerful sound. Korg’s acclaimed cylindrical speaker has been further enhanced with an improved resonator structure to ensure that it’s easily heard. Even loud instruments won’t overpower its unmistakable, clear sound. And with the KDM-2 you have a choice of 3 different PCM sounds (cowbell/agogo/clave) for the beat, so you can choose the sound that compliments the instrument you’re playing. The volume can also be adjusted to the most appropriate level. Since there’s a PHONE jack, you can connect a mini-plug (1/8″) earphone for private practice. The START/STOP switch located on the top panel blinks in two colors – red and green – for an unmistakable visual indication of the tempo. It’s a great feature if you want to practice with a silent metronome. From basic beats to variations like son clave and rumba clave, the KDM-2 contains a total of 19 beat patterns. You can set the tempo in any of three ways. Full Step mode that lets you adjust the tempo over a range of 30 through 252 in steps of one. Pendulum Step mode lets you set the tempo using the preset tempo settings, as on a mechanical metronome. And Tap Tempo lets you set the tempo by pressing the TAP switch at the desired interval. Sound Out mode outputs a reference tone that you can use as a tuning guide. You can listen to any of the twelve pitches from C4 – B4. You can also adjust the A4 frequency (calibration) in a broad range from 410 Hz to 480 Hz. The KDM-2 provides a memory backup function that remembers the specified tempo, beat, calibration, and reference pitch even when the power is turned off. The large LCD screen makes it easy to view the settings. An encoder-type TEMPO/CALIB dial and a Step Select switch provide quick and direct access to settings and functions. Featuring an original design that’s compact yet stable, the KDM-2 is at home on your desk, your piano, or anywhere else. The KDM-2 is designed for long battery life. It will continue marking an accurate tempo for approximately 120 hours of continuous use at a tempo of 120 beats per minute.

1 Star No violin part as a previous review said
As another customer review said, this package delivered quickly but without violin part. It is confusing that the left upper corner of the book says violin and piano part but inside the book says piano part, I guess Amazon shipping clerk was not aware of this should be a two book package?
2 Stars Warning: this is volume 6!
We ordered this book for our daughter upon the recommendation of her violin teacher. The music seemed much too difficult for her – then we noticed that it was Volume 6 of a series! Nowhere in the description of the book does it mention this is Volume 6. Looking back now, with a magnifying glass (literally), I can see volume 6 in the left-hand corner of the picture of the book. But even when you look at the front cover view, the top is cut off so you wouldn’t see anything about Volume 6. We would be returning it but her teacher offered to buy it from us. Now we will go to a local store to make sure we are purchasing the correct item, which we should have done in the first place. Very misleading description.
1 Star No Violin Part
Amazon shipped this order twice without including the violin part. Finally I gave up and ordered it from another source. Return was a minor hassle as Amazon told me to preprint a return label which they they wanted to charge me for via deduction from refund. After a protest they came around and refunded entire price.
4 Stars Good music, but a little tough for a true beginner
These solos start with a few quite easy songs, but very quickly the solos become much more difficult. There doesn’t seem to be much for the “just a little better than rank beginner” player. That said, the music is much more satisfying than most available in books for beginning players.
