More information

In this website you can only see some partial information of the tool.

To have more information or compare several tuners, click on the link of each to add them to the cart of Amazon. You are not obliged to buy the books in the cart. When all the goods of your interest have been added, you will have in the cart of Amazon a list of books and you can click on the titles to see and compare the information that Amazon provides, reviews by magazines and readers and also a comparison of prices with other booksellers in the Marketplace.

The goods remain in your Amazon's cart for 90 days and then disappear. You can delete them at any time or pass them to a "wish" or "buy later" lists.

Where and How to buy a book?

We do not sell tuners nor metronomes directly.

We link to Amazon (in our opinion, the biggest and safest on-line bookstore worldwide), where you can find more information, customer reviews and also a comparison of prices with other booksellers.

Amazon has several warehouses over the world: USA, UK, Germany, France, Japan, Canada, China... To all purposes, they act as if they are independent stores, except in the fact that you only need to create an account once in one among them and they will be available to all of them indefinitely, what makes the buying process much safer and simpler.

The item of your interest can be available only in some of them, sometimes with a significant difference in the price. We have linked together several warehouses so you can check availability and prices instantly (even thought, this delays the downloading of the pages). To figure out your cost, take into account the exchange rates of the currencies published in www.xe.com. Don't forget to consider the shipping costs to your destination, the delivery time and the local taxes (when applicable).

You can order from the location most convenient for you.

What is the Marketplace?

Amazon only sells directly new items, but in the Amazon's websites you can also find the marketplace. The marketplace is a virtual market where other stores offer the items that they have in stock (new and used), with the guarantee and payment methods of Amazon.

To go to the Marketplace, click on the [other options to buy] or [used & new] links when you are in the page with information of the book.

While Amazon has demonstrated to be a very reliable and safe bookstore, its collaborators offer the same guarantee but can be completely unknown.

Please, notice that not all the bookstores in the marketplace send books abroad.

Shipping cost

Take into account that Amazon has established different shipping costs for the tools sold directly or from the marketplace. Those costs depend also on the warehouse of origin.

Why a tuner can have different prices?

There is a part of mystery. There are tuners that, being the same model, are in the Amazon catalogue with several references at different prices.

  • Location or seller
  • Currency (when you pay in a foreign currency you incur several expenses)
  • Condition (new, refurbished, used...)
  • Shipping cost

Shopping at Amazon

After adding all the books of your interest to the shopping cart, you can compare them and check their characteristics and reviews. If you desire buying the books in your cart you have to check-out and give the shipping and payment details.

If you desire buying only a part of the books but maintain the rest for future reference, move these last to the "buy later" list. When you execute the checking-out you only buy the books in the cart at that moment.

If you do not like to maintain the references, you can delete them manually or they will be erased automatically after 90 days.
