The LA tone of the Solfeggio scale
This tuning fork sounds the LA tone of the time-honoured scale known as Solfeggio, vibrating 852 times per second. Tradition associates this high, clear-ringing tone with quieting down and ordering one's thoughts. In practice you hear a delicate, long-sustained tone that helps calm the room and draw attention to a single point.
Nickel-free steel with a maple handle
The body of the fork is made of black-finished, nickel-free steel - good news for anyone whose skin is sensitive to nickel. The comfortable maple wood handle gives a secure, warm grip; the fork is 12.2 cm long and weighs just 74 grams. Precise tuning is ensured by the German maker's workshop.
How to use the tuning fork
Hold it by the handle and strike the prongs against a resilient surface - such as a dedicated activation pad or the soft part of your palm - then hold it close to your ear or move it slowly through the air. Sound therapists often use it together with other Solfeggio forks in a series; the maker's range covers the full scale from 174 Hz to 963 Hz. You can happily start with a single fork and expand your set over time.
Storage and care
Keep the fork in a dry place, ideally in a case or on a wooden tuning fork stand. Avoid dropping it or knocking it against hard objects, as this can affect tuning accuracy. Wiped occasionally with a soft, dry cloth, it will keep its beauty and clear tone for many years.
