Metronomes started randomly synchronize after a short period of time as they influence each other through the side-to-side motion of their shared base.

@wonderofscience slightly unrelated, does anyone knows which metronome is the one on this video? I have been looking for a clean looking one, and I really like this one.

Still had one on my Amazon wishlist, but couldn't justify the expense because apps have been good enough for me so far.

@alleycat @wonderofscience oh, so nice! Could you share the Amazon link, please? I searched on the US store, couldn’t find any. I would happily return that one I linked (which will deliver today), and order this one instead!

I know apps are, perhaps, better, and extensible. I love that mechanical sound, and physical feeling, though. 🙈

@david @wonderofscience

I'm in Germany, so a link is probably of no use.
