13 Piece Scientific Tuning Fork Set

The 13 piece scientific tuning fork set comes in a canvas rollup bag and covers a single octave from C256Hz to C512Hz. We call it "scientific" because if you divide 512/256 (or 256/512) you can see that the ratio is 2 (or 1/2) which makes the binary relationship between adjacent octaves more apparent.

The 13 fork set fills out the basic 8 fork set with the 5 additional sharps. The sharps are usually more useful in music but because the science & music sets share a common mathematical relationship, we provide 8 & 13 fork versions of both.

Some testimonials:

  • Part 1: Thanks Indigo! The tuning fork arrived on Thursday the 20th. These are the best tuning forks in the world!
    Part 2: ....Yes, feel free to quote me on the website. Why not? I'm stating a fact. John Walker Tuning Forks are the best ones out there today. I bought my first one in 1986 and it still rings true!     Gaither H., North Carolina

  • Love your website!

    Thank you for the clear explanation of the different uses and types of tuning forks. Your website didn't come up on my first "Google" search, but it did today, and I'm grateful. I would have mistakenly purchased an imprecise fork to tune my choir or one for scientific rather than hand-held use.    Lisa F., Michigan
