Superior Aluminium Tuning Fork
Model Number: MTW-03
The Superior Aluminium Tuning Fork is a precision sound and vibration instrument designed for experiments involving frequency, resonance, vibration, pitch, and acoustic phenomena. Micro Technologies supplies each tuning fork manufactured from aluminium and individually tested to help ensure reliable frequency performance. A broad selection of frequencies is available, ranging from 100 Hz to 4096 Hz, including commonly used musical reference frequencies such as 128 Hz (C1), 256 Hz (C), 288 Hz (D), 320 Hz (E), 341.6 Hz (F1), 384 Hz (G), 426.7 Hz (A), 480 Hz (B), 512 Hz (C'), 1024 Hz (C''), 2048 Hz (C'''), and 4096 Hz (C4). The rigid fork construction produces a clear vibration when struck correctly, making these tuning forks suitable for individual experiments, comparative frequency studies, resonance investigations, and complete acoustics laboratory setups.
Product Specification
The Superior Aluminium Tuning Fork is a precision laboratory instrument used for producing a characteristic acoustic frequency when its prongs are set into vibration. It provides a simple and reliable sound source for experiments involving vibration, resonance, pitch, frequency comparison, and other fundamental acoustic phenomena.
Each tuning fork is manufactured from aluminium, providing a lightweight yet rigid construction suitable for repeated laboratory handling. When the fork is gently struck against an appropriate resilient surface, its two prongs vibrate at their characteristic natural frequency and generate a clearly identifiable tone.
Micro Technologies supplies these tuning forks in a wide frequency range from 100 Hz to 4096 Hz. This broad selection enables laboratories to choose individual frequencies for specific experiments or combine several forks for comparative investigations across low, medium, and higher audible frequencies.
Several models correspond to commonly referenced musical tones. These include 128 Hz (C1), 256 Hz (C), 288 Hz (D), 320 Hz (E), 341.6 Hz (F1), 384 Hz (G), 426.7 Hz (A), 480 Hz (B), and higher C frequencies of 512 Hz, 1024 Hz, 2048 Hz, and 4096 Hz.
Each unit is individually tested to support dependable frequency performance. This is particularly useful in experiments where the nominal frequency of the sound source must be known before investigating resonance or comparing different tones.
The stem provides a convenient holding point while helping minimize direct damping of the vibrating prongs. It can also be used with compatible resonance boxes, holders, or other acoustics apparatus depending on the experimental configuration.
With precision frequency options, aluminium construction, and individually tested performance, the Superior Aluminium Tuning Fork provides a durable and versatile sound source for acoustics and vibration laboratory applications.

FAQs
What is a Superior Aluminium Tuning Fork used for?
It is used as a known-frequency sound source for experiments involving vibration, frequency, resonance, pitch, sound waves, and related acoustic phenomena.
What material is the tuning fork made from?
The tuning forks are manufactured from aluminium, providing a lightweight and rigid construction suitable for regular laboratory use.
What frequency range is available?
The available range extends from 100 Hz to 4096 Hz, with multiple intermediate frequencies for different experimental requirements.
Are individual tuning forks tested?
Yes. Each tuning fork is individually tested to help ensure dependable frequency performance before supply.
Is a 256 Hz tuning fork available?
Yes. A 256 Hz tuning fork is available as MT-36121/3 and corresponds to the listed C tone configuration.
Is a 512 Hz tuning fork available?
Yes. The 512 Hz configuration is available as MT-36121/10.
Can tuning forks be used for resonance experiments?
Yes. They can be combined with suitable resonance apparatus, resonance boxes, air columns, or other compatible acoustic setups to investigate resonance phenomena.
Do tuning forks require electrical power?
No. They operate mechanically. The fork is gently struck using an appropriate striker to initiate vibration.
How should a tuning fork be handled?
Hold the fork by its stem and avoid touching the vibrating prongs during operation. It should be struck against a suitable resilient striker rather than a hard surface that could damage the fork.
