    Genuine Sheffield Boxed Chromatic Tuning Fork Set
    Made in England


    Set of 13 forks from the chromatic scale - C-261.6cps ("middle" C) to C-523.3 CPS. Blued steel finish.

    With proper care, a good tuning fork will last a lifetime. Never strike forks against hard objects as doing so may permanently alter their pitch. A padded object or your forearm will provide a loud, sustained resonance. Tuning forks we carry are single steel bar construction. They are very resistant to changes in frequency from temperature changes, which often affects lesser quality forks. Made in England.

    Single Tuning Forks


    Instructions: Hold curved grip by your thumb and index finger while firmly but briefly striking one of the fork tines on a hard, non-metallic surface to produce a clear tone. To amplify, touch and hold the base end to any solid or hollow flat surface while fork is vibrating.
