440 Hz Tuning Fork with Soft Shell Case, Standard A 440 Hz

First it was kind of almost a#, after use it a few time now is perfect. Love it for the price! Great tool for musicians! The quality is just like the ones Shar music offer.

This is very good. Tap it on you knee, hold it to your ear and tune the A string. After that tune the rest of the strings to the A string. In today's world of digital tuners we sometimes lose track of this simplicity. I did. I may be a bit off at times, but it is training my ear, and my brain. And, when I'm finished it sounds pretty darned perfect. Didn't cost much. Will last for years. Doesn't use batteries. I like. PW

I use the sound of this to calm myself down in loud spaces and it works super well. It's portable and well made

I needed to buy a tuning fork for choir and this one does the job. It's not as big as other tuning forks I own and it is quite quiet, but it does its job. It is perfectly in tune and having a case is nice! It's a good tuning fork for the price.

Pros: Long resonation with a moderate strike. Carry Bag. Mallet. Included microfiber cloth could be used for glasses if you don't use it on the hammer. Inexpensive ($10.99 for me). Sturdy. Cons: Not really a con, since I won't be using it for instrument tuning, but it does not resonate at 128Hz exactly. It seems to vary between 125.4-125.6, which is probably just related to temperature. If you want 128Hz exactly, consider a higher-grade tuning fork. Comments: This tuning fork is well-built, solid, and resonates for quite a while. The mallet is a nice bonus. I don't see a need for the microfiber cleaning cloth. This item comes bundled in a velvet-ish, soft bag with a drawstring and sliding lock. I'd call this an overall decent buy.

Soft sounding

It was difficult selecting a tuning fork on Amazon purely because there were so few reviews and the ones that did exist often complained of bent prongs, breakage, or poor quality in terms of rough metal edges. The more expensive, and well rated, tuning fork sets for full audiometry are not necessary as an NP in family practice, and thus were out of the question. This tuning fork is not marketed toward allopathic medicine practitioners, however it is exactly what I was looking for. The prongs are strait, it seems quite sturdy, and there are no sharp edges. The little wooden striking implement is kind of nice also. I normally rap a tuning fork in the palm of my hand, which is ok - it does the job - but I noticed that the vibratory tone lasts longer if I can give it a firm tap with the rubberized striking implement. My palm doesn't hurt that way either. I can't see myself carrying the striker around in a lab coat but if it is in my drawer at the office then I could see myself using this. I've heard conflicting views on using a 128 hz vs 512 hz tuning fork for audio testing. Ultimately I went with a 128 hz fork as it is less annoying sounding to patients.

I never used one of these before but wanted to try myself. I have no way to tell if they really work but you can fill the vibration in your bones as stated. The mallet is nice as not all tuning forks came with a mallet. Comes with case, mallet, cleaning cloth and an allen wrench.
