The C and G Tuning Fork Pair
We offer you this tuning fork pair as a gentle entry into sound therapy. The two aluminium forks are precisely tuned to Pythagorean C 256 Hz and G 384 Hz, and together they produce the musical Perfect Fifth interval. In India this sound is associated with Shiva calling Shakti to the Dance of Life, while in the Western tradition it is linked to Apollo and his sacred lyre.
Why this whole-body pair
In Polarity Therapy the C and G pair is used to balance the physical body and the subtle energy that flows within it. We recommend these two forks to you because they calm the breath and refresh the attention at the same time, which makes them well suited to home meditation and to therapist sessions. Lao Tzu called this interval the sound of Universal Harmony, balancing Yin and Yang.
Sizes and material
The forks are between 18.5 and 21.5 centimetres long, tuned within a ±0.25 percent deviation margin. The total weight of the pair is 151 grams, and the material is light aluminium with a clear ring. The delivery pouch measures 23×10 centimetres, so the pair fits easily into a treatment room or onto your meditation shelf.
How to play the pair
Hold the stem of the fork between your fingers and strike the head against your palm or a soft activator. Bring it close to your ear, or hold it about a hand's width above your body. Play the C fork first, then the G fork, and listen for how the two tones meet.
Care and storage
After use, store the pair in the blue velvet pouch so that the surface stays free of scratches and the tuning remains accurate for years. Do not drop the forks on hard surfaces and avoid moisture. Wipe them occasionally with a soft, dry cloth.
