Seeing this brings back memories of high school. I used to take piano and voice lessons at a community music school, and the classrooms had these same metronomes on top of the pianos, which were older and beautifully crafted instruments from an earlier, more elegant time...

A Franz! They don't make those anymore. Pity, they were the best metronomes EVAH.

This is completely a high school memory.
In the practice rooms of our h.s. band room, where these metronomes sitting on a crusty, upright piano.

I the diamond shape on the top of the casing does not light up, adjust volume...or do anything.
It adorns a weird, white diamond.
