The C and G Whole Body tuning fork pair is built on the Pythagorean or Just scale and produces one of music's gentlest intervals, the perfect fifth. The prongs are between 18.5 and 21 centimetres long and the package weighs 147 grams. If you are new to tuning forks, we suggest you start with this pair, because the sound is predictable, soothing and very soft.
Tradition of the C and G perfect fifth
Together the C (256 Hz) and G (384 Hz) form a perfect fifth, one of the calmest and most accessible intervals in music history. Tradition in India connects this tone to Shiva calling Shakti to dance. We recommend the pair to you mainly for quiet listening at home, because the way the two notes blend is especially harmonious.
Why it is called a Whole Body fork
This pair belongs to the unweighted family, so the sound is soft and the forks are not pressed onto the body as a clear movement. The name Whole Body refers to the feeling: the two notes of the perfect fifth seem to address the whole body at once rather than a single muscle area. Sound rooms often start sessions with this pair.
Size and comfort
The prongs vary between 18.5 and 21 centimetres, and together the two forks weigh 147 grams, so each sits steadily in your hand. The 22 x 11 cm blue velvet pouch keeps both forks neatly side by side and makes it easy for you to carry them when you want to share them with others.
Material and finish
The anodised aluminium is durable, light and scratch-resistant. The gold colour gives a warm shine and keeps its tone for years if stored dry. The surface does not stain the skin, so you can use it confidently even during longer sound work sessions.
Why this is a good starter pair
The two forks teach you a single, simple interval, so you can quickly learn your own response. At the start of meditation you tap the C, then the G, and listen as the two tones merge. After a few weeks of practice you will feel more confident moving on to other sets, higher or more complex, that suit you.
