This tuning fork is tuned to 221.2 Hz, the tone assigned to the planet Venus. The pitch of planetary tuning forks is calculated from the orbital periods of the planets and transposed into the audible range - when struck, the fork produces a clear, even tone that you can not only hear but also gently feel through the handle. Tradition associates the Venus tone with harmony, love and a sense of beauty.
How do you use the tuning fork?
Strike the fork gently against the pad of your palm or a rubber activator, then hold it near your ear or place the end of the handle on your body - on your shoulder or chest, for example. The vibration spreads as a soft, even wave, which many users find calming. Sound therapists use it as part of treatments, home users for evening relaxation and winding down before sleep.
Nickel-free steel with a maple handle
The fork is made of black oxide, nickel-free steel, so people with sensitive skin can also handle it with confidence. The maple wood handle offers a pleasant grip and transmits the vibration beautifully. The fork is 18 cm long and weighs only 74 grams, so it travels easily.
Who is the Venus fork for?
For sound therapists and beginners alike: you can use it right away without any prior training. It also fits well alongside existing planetary tuning fork sets - with the other members of the series (Sun, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and the rest) you can gradually build a complete collection.
