About This Product
A fork is held by its stem, one prong is struck gently with a rubber hammer or suitable striker, and the vibrating fork is brought near the ear without touching it. Placing the stem on a resonance box or sounding surface increases audibility. Comparing different forks helps students relate frequency, pitch, amplitude and resonance, and the forks can be used with the Sonometer Apparatus for string vibration lessons. Export supply of the Tuning Fork can be arranged to laboratories and schools in Paraguay, Uruguay, Australia, Zimbabwe, Albania and Jamaica.
