Why 128 Hz?
128 Hz is one of the most widely used base frequencies in sound therapy practice - it is called the master fork for good reason. It produces a deep, pleasant hum that you do not only hear: rest the handle of the struck fork on a tabletop or on the body and the vibration is felt gently and clearly. As part of the earth tone series, it is regarded as the tone of calm and reassurance.
Nickel-free steel, comfortable maple handle
The fork is made of black oxide, nickel-free steel, so people with sensitive skin can use it with confidence. The maple wood handle feels warm and gives a secure grip, while the 22 cm length and the weight of only about 74 grams make for light, effortless work. Made in Germany with precise tuning.
How to use it step by step
Strike the prong gently against the pad of your palm or a rubber mallet, then hold the fork near your ear and listen to the slowly fading tone. Alternatively, place the end of the handle on your arm, your shoulder or a wooden surface - this way you experience the tone as vibration too. This simple routine takes only minutes to learn.
Who should choose it as a first fork?
If you are just getting acquainted with tuning forks, the 128 Hz master fork is the best starting point: its deep tone is easy to hear, its vibration is strongly felt, and most sound therapy courses build on this very frequency. For experienced therapists it is a reliable everyday tool.
