Questions & Answers
There is no such thing as a "no.". In fact, it measures about 5 1/2 inches by 1/2 inch across. But who cares how big it really is? Tuned to an E note, it produces a perfect pitch.
If you hit it against a hard surface, the forked end will break. When you are done tuning, you bring the tuning fork up to your ear. A light, but clear tone should be heard as the vibrating metal continues to spin. There will be a specific pitch for whatever version you purchased (I got the E pitch so that I can tune my guitar quickly). In other words, if you hit it against something and then do not hold it up to your ear at all as you hit it, all you will hear is maybe a dull ding along with a thud. A tuning fork is best for people with a good relative pitch (unlike those with "perfect pitch", we might need to start out with actually pitch- It will also provide us with the other tones we need).
The one I have vibrates at 440 hz, which is the It's dead on the tuner, which I checked with an electronic device. Hz), but I do not possess and cannot vouch for this one.
There is no way to tell for sure. A tuning fork of "A" is in my possession. I bought it a long time ago, so it does not have a mark (just the letter 'A'). 440 hz is still the frequency of my fork when I check it with my electric tuner. This may be of some help.

I got one that's tiny and tested at 440Hz with no issues. Whenever people state that they cannot hear my voice, I do not get in reviews Tuning forks differ from instruments in that they are used to tune. The A string on your guitar will resonate when you hold it underneath it. It is also important to strike or touch the pitch against anything to hear it. Spanners should be struck with the top of their wrist or knee when striking the object. Do not tap it against anything, like a wooden or metal table or desk. There is no doubt that it will resonate, but every strike like that will alter the pitch over time, until it stops resonating entirely. Make sure it has enough give to not bend the fork or dent it.
I especially like the rubber isolation gripper -- The tool appears to be more durable because of it. The tuning fork I had lost/misplaced was gone and I was in a panic because there was no one to pick it up This was the one I found and ordered, and I got it in 3 days, much cheaper than if I had gone to the local shop. It is the only one I use now for determining the accuracy of a new electronic tuner or for showing new students how the art of guitar tuning works. In order to demonstrate how accuracy improves with each instrument, I used several pieces of equipment, including a pitch pipe, a tuning fork, and a couple of electronic tuners.
Is exactly what it is advertised to be. One con is that the color strip on the handle comes off as it's basically just a loose rubber band. Not sure why they decided to do that rather than just painting it or gluing it in, but it's unnecessary anyway so it's I saw a few reviews disparaging the fact that you cannot hear what you are saying or that the volume is For potential buyers or for people who might be considering buying By pressing the bottom end of the ping pong ball to the saddle or top of the guitar, you.
In spite of the availability of digital tuners, I've always preferred to tune my mandolin with a tuning fork. To keep them in their bags, I needed another couple tuning forks since I now have a few of them. In spite of the fact that the original fork I bought 30 years ago is still going strong, I wanted something that didn't dampen as quickly as the original and was made of In terms of cost, the Planet Waves tuning fork is a bit more expensive than other options, but it holds the note for a longer time and makes it easier for me to get to the right To utilize the fork, I tap the handle end of it on my kneecap (since it is always close to hand) and hold the handle end of the fork against the bridge so I can clearly hear the note. String harmonics can then be used to bring the rest of the strings into tune after the A string is tuned. I said it was easy peasy!.
Reference tool of the highest quality. The TC Elec I just bought was a great purchase. My trusty Boss Tu3 was unable to work beautifully with the Polytune3. As a result I concluded that the TC was off and the TU3 was correct. Fortunately, we can easily set Polytune3's reference pitch so that it matches the pitch of the tuning fork and The app was also used to check my clips They were accurate on tuners (Fender, Snark). There is no better price to pay for peace of mind than this.
The tuning fork takes some getting used to. The fork must remain very close to your ear to function, but that isn't a that the picture I have does not resemble the one I actually have. Neither it nor the lid has a Tuning forks have a green substance on them called "wax". This is supposed to be what makes this A different from the other ones. I noticed that it was covered with a black sticky substance, which appeared to be The packaging and the fact that it's dirty make me not happy with it. Also present is some scraping and minor chipping on the back, which is consistent with it being.
of the highest quality. I was able to tune my digital tuner perfectly with the 440 HZ "A" note. You can hear it when it is put up to the ear as it has a long sustain. It makes a difference in loudness if you hold it in your teeth, the reviewer who recommended it said. To those who have asked for a photo of the size, I am attaching a photo that shows it is approximately 5" long.
You need to be in a quiet room to use this tuning fork. I had read that it's relatively quiet. There is a possibility that you won't be able to hear it if a television or fan is on. It will be hard to purchase another one of these. I hope to find a louder turning fork, but I won't buy another one.
