The tone of Uranus: 207.4 Hz
This tuning fork is part of the planetary tuning fork series, tuned to 207.4 Hz. In the planetary tone system this pitch is assigned to the planet Uranus, and tradition connects it with a sense of renewal and freshness. When struck, it produces a clear, even, long-sustained tone that is pleasant both to listen to and to sound close to the body.
Nickel-free steel with a maple handle
The fork is made of black oxide, nickel-free steel, so people with sensitive skin can use it with confidence. The warm-feeling maple handle offers a comfortable, secure grip; the total length is 18.2 cm and the weight is just 74 grams. The fork is made in Germany with careful, precise tuning.
How to sound it
Hold the fork by its handle and tap the prongs gently against a rubber mallet or the soft part of your palm - never against a hard object, as that can affect the tuning. Bring the sounding fork close to your ear or listen in a quiet room: the long, even ring is ideal for winding down, resting, or introducing a reading or meditation session.
Who are planetary tuning forks for?
If you work as a sound therapist, or you simply want to relax at home with calming tones, planetary tuning forks are a great starting point: you can use them individually and expand them into a full series over time. Wooden holders for 5, 7, 9 and 12 forks are available separately.
