Aluminum Tuning Fork with Round Stem

This aluminum tuning fork is precision-manufactured to produce a frequency of 256Hz (middle C). It features a round stem with plain shanks for a secure grip during use. The 256Hz frequency is commonly used in physics demonstrations of sound waves, resonance, and vibration. The aluminum construction provides a clear, sustained tone. The fork can be struck with a rubber mallet or against a soft surface and held near the ear, placed on a resonance box, or dipped in water to visualize vibrations.
