The metronome consists of an inverted pendulum. The pendulum moves back and forth regularly and in each cycle emits two clearly audible ticks.
By adjusting a small weight on the pendulum, the swing time can be altered.
Inside the device is parchment-like paper bearing the print of the Italian musical terms presto, allegro, andante, adagio, larghetto and largo with a small drawing/symbol printed at the bottom.
The metronome can be wound up with the accompanying key. The metronome is finished at the front with a brass plate bearing the inscription Maelzel.
Johann Nepomuk Maelzel is known as a metronome maker around 1820, with a patent that Maelzel had registered in Paris. However, it was sold in Germany.
