The tone of Mars: 144.7 Hz
This tuning fork belongs to the planetary series and is tuned to the tone calculated from the orbit of Mars, 144.7 Hz. It is a deep, full hum: bring the struck fork close to your ear and you hear it clearly; rest the end of the handle on a tabletop or on the body and you can feel it as a fine vibration. In the planetary tone tradition, Mars is associated with drive, determination and willpower.
Black oxide steel with a maple handle
The fork is made of nickel-free black oxide steel with a warm-feeling maple wood handle, comfortable to hold even during longer sessions. It is 20.8 cm long and weighs only about 74 grams. German manufacturing stands for precise tuning and durable workmanship.
How do you play it?
Strike the prong gently against a rubber mallet or the pad of your palm - never against a hard surface, as that could detune it. Then hold it near your ear, or place the end of the handle where you would like to feel the vibration. The tone rings for several seconds and the motion can be repeated at any time.
Who is it for?
Sound therapists extending their planetary tuning fork collection, and anyone just discovering relaxation with sound - the tuning fork is one of the simplest sound tools to use. If you wish to work with several forks, the other planetary tones of the series and wooden fork stands are also available in our range.
