No, I actually have one older: a real mechanical metronome. And I purchased it new some decades ago. Yes, for convenience, I do have the combination Korg tuner/metronome, but since I also play various bass instruments, the visual of the indicator going back and forth also lends visual reinforcement to making sure I am exactly on the beat with a drummer.

Old-style metronome ...?

Peterson's Bodybeat Sync will wirelessly synchronize a number of metronomes together. It also includes an optional vibrating attachment so you can feel the beat. I have just one and it can be pretty loud, but it doesn't have a great visual display.

Barry, that's a new one on me! Interesting concept, and it's probably about time someone moved more of today's tech into one of these.
Here is the Amazon link, where it is a bit cheaper:

This seems to be going in the right direction -- though very pricey (in large part because of the multi-function capability, etc.).
However, it looks to me as though the architecture is that each player would need a complete unit, and those units then "synchronize" with one another -- a kind of "peer to peer" architecture. For metronome purposes, a better (simpler, much less expensive) architecture would be just the one "central" (transmitter) unit, and then an arbitrary number of the receivers ("clips"?). But so far as I can see, it doesn't appear to be configurable in that way.Gary Merrill

That is pretty neat! I like Peterson stuff. My favorite tuner app is the Peterson Strobe tuner called, "iStrobeSoft". It's not a real strobe but sure resembles one. It's easy to see how sharp or flat you are without actually staring at it. It's a bit pricey as far as apps go at $10.
Thanks for sharing Barry.Rick Floyd

But it doesn't seem to be available yet for purchase. The PR for it is only a few days old.Gary Merrill
