Major Chord Tuning Fork Set
Model Number: MTW-04
The Major Chord Tuning Fork Set is a precision acoustic set consisting of four aluminium alloy tuning forks selected to produce the principal tones of a major chord. Micro Technologies supplies the set with nominal frequencies of C-256 Hz, E-320 Hz, G-384 Hz, and C-512 Hz. Each tuning fork is individually marked with its corresponding frequency and musical note for quick identification during experiments. The precision aluminium construction provides a clear acoustic response when the forks are correctly struck and allows individual or combined use for investigations involving pitch, frequency, resonance, harmony, vibration, and sound. The coordinated frequency selection makes the set particularly useful for comparing musical intervals and observing the relationship between physical frequency and perceived musical tone.
Product Specification
The Major Chord Tuning Fork Set is a coordinated collection of four precision tuning forks designed to produce the characteristic tones of a major chord. Unlike individual tuning forks selected solely by frequency, this set combines specific frequencies that can be compared together for investigations involving musical harmony, pitch relationships, vibration, and acoustics.
Micro Technologies supplies the set with four aluminium alloy tuning forks having nominal frequencies of 256 Hz, 320 Hz, 384 Hz, and 512 Hz. These correspond to the listed musical notes C, E, G, and C, providing the fundamental components required for a major chord arrangement.
Each tuning fork is stamped or marked with its frequency and corresponding note. This identification allows users to select the required fork quickly and reduces confusion when several frequencies are being compared during the same experiment.
The forks are manufactured from precision aluminium alloy, providing a useful combination of rigidity, low weight, and dependable vibrational response. When a fork is gently struck using an appropriate resilient striker, its prongs vibrate at their characteristic natural frequency and produce a clear tone.
The four forks may be investigated individually to compare pitch and frequency or used in sequence and combination to explore musical intervals and harmonic relationships. The set can also be incorporated into suitable resonance experiments and other acoustics arrangements where known-frequency sound sources are required.
With four coordinated frequencies, clearly marked notes, and precision aluminium construction, the Major Chord Tuning Fork Set provides a compact and practical solution for sound, vibration, resonance, and musical acoustics investigations.

FAQs
What is the Major Chord Tuning Fork Set used for?
The set is used for experiments involving sound frequency, pitch, vibration, resonance, musical intervals, harmony, and the relationship between frequency and musical notes.
How many tuning forks are included?
The standard set contains four precision aluminium alloy tuning forks.
Which frequencies are included in the set?
The set contains tuning forks with nominal frequencies of 256 Hz, 320 Hz, 384 Hz, and 512 Hz.
Which musical notes are represented?
The four forks correspond to the listed notes C, E, G, and C, forming the principal tones of a major chord arrangement.
Are the frequencies marked on the tuning forks?
Yes. The frequency and corresponding musical note are marked on each tuning fork for convenient identification.
What material are the tuning forks made from?
The forks are manufactured from precision aluminium alloy, providing a lightweight and rigid construction suitable for repeated acoustics experiments.
Can the forks be used individually?
Yes. Each fork can be used separately as a known-frequency sound source or compared with other forks in the set.
Can the set be used for resonance experiments?
Yes. The forks can be combined with suitable resonance boxes, air columns, or other compatible acoustic apparatus for resonance investigations.
Does the set require electrical power?
No. The tuning forks operate mechanically and produce sound when correctly struck with a suitable resilient striker.
How should the tuning forks be stored?
Keep the forks clean and dry and protect the prongs from bending, impact, and mechanical damage. Holding and storing them by their stems helps preserve their condition.
Can individual replacement tuning forks be supplied?
Individual frequencies may be supplied depending on procurement requirements and availability.
Can Major Chord Tuning Fork Sets be ordered in bulk?
Yes. Micro Technologies can supply bulk quantities for acoustics laboratories, physics laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, distributors, and institutional projects.
