The Wittner Taktell 2206 Penguin is worth considering if its design appeals to you, but the Taktell Piccolino Black is a cheaper alternative. The listed best new prices are £104 and £49 respectively.
The Penguin makes most sense if you specifically want its penguin design. A metronome you enjoy having in your practice space may encourage regular use, but looks alone don’t establish better timekeeping or more useful features.
If you’re watching the budget, the Wittner Taktell Piccolino Black is £55 less at the supplied best new prices. It’s the sensible alternative to investigate if the penguin styling isn’t important to you.
The supplied details don’t establish differences in tempo range, volume or operation. Check those before buying: choose the Penguin for a design you genuinely want, rather than assuming the extra spend means better practice performance.
