The UT tone - the beginning of the solfeggio scale
The solfeggio tones form a scale originating from an old sacred hymn; UT is its first tone, at 396 Hz. Tradition connects this tone with letting go: many people use it in exercises aimed at releasing accumulated tension and anxiety. When struck, the fork gives a pure, even tone that you can not only hear but also feel in your hand through the handle.
Nickel-free steel, maple handle
The fork is made of black oxide, nickel-free steel - safe for sensitive skin - with a warm-touch maple wood handle. The fork is 14.5 cm long and weighs only 74 grams, so it will not tire your hand even during longer sessions. It is made in Germany with precise tuning.
How to use the tuning fork
Strike the prongs on a soft surface - for example the pad of your palm or a rubber mallet made for this purpose - then hold the fork to your ear, or place the end of the handle on your body, for example your shoulder or chest. The tone rings evenly for several seconds while a gentle vibration can be felt. The exercise can be done anywhere, anytime, and requires no training.
Who is it for?
For sound therapists as the first element of the solfeggio series, and for everyone looking for a simple, tangible tool for a few minutes of daily quiet. If you are new to tuning forks, the 396 Hz UT fork is a good starting point for discovering the whole series.
