What makes 432 Hz special?
Today's standard concert pitch is 440 Hz, yet 432 Hz is also known as the natural concert pitch, and many people find that music tuned to it sounds softer and rounder, and is deeply restful to listen to. With this tuning fork you can sound that tone at any moment: pure, even and free of distracting overtones.
For tuning instruments and for rest
The fork serves two purposes. First, it gives you a reference point if you wish to tune your instrument - a monochord or another stringed instrument - to a 432 Hz base. Second, it is useful in sound therapy work and for relaxation at home: after striking, hold it near your ear and listen to the slowly fading, pure tone, or touch the handle end to your body and notice the subtle vibration.
Nickel-free steel, comfortable maple handle
The fork is made of black oxide, nickel-free steel, so it can be used with confidence even on sensitive skin. The maple wood handle gives a secure, pleasant grip. It is 14.5 cm long and weighs just 74 grams - it fits in a coat pocket. Carefully tuned and made in Germany.
How to draw out its finest tone
Strike the prongs against a soft surface such as a rubber mallet or the pad of your palm - never against hard objects, which could harm the tuning. You will be surprised how long the pure tone sustains: those few seconds offer a small moment of calm at any point of the day.
