K&M 168 Tuning Fork 105mm

Who would’ve guessed?

Set the vibration in motion and press it to your skull close to the entrance to your ear and you’ll get the perfect perception of a 440 Hz A that people have always asked you to deliver when you mentioned or they estimated that you wanted to sing.

So what is it? The A on the high E-string of your guitar? The A the current day most common tunings are set to? Well, officially. Be cool, walk out of line, but play in tune.

I bought this tuning fork just for fun really...but now I never leave the house without it! It comes in really handy at gigs (I play trumpet, myself) and is great for choir leaders also.

Perhaps the only negative thing is that it is quite small and you need almost complete silence to detect the tone.

Still, it is a nice sturdy little tool that has helped me whenever I needed to make sure I was in tune...and it doesn't require batteries!

Good quality tuning fork although the handle is small for me. I would recommend buy the 120 mm version, it might be more convenient.

Bought this to tune my violin
The sound is so pure I now want to play this instrument instead of my violin
- this is a joke it isn't an actual instrument... but i wish it were.


My wife actually showed me you can make the sound loud by putting the little round bottom of the fork on a wood surface, after you've hit the fork.
It is loud and clear...I am thinking about buying a G, E and D in the same size

The result of tuning fork is clear and the quality is quite good

Definitely a good bangs for your buck.

I was very happy with the quality and of the size of the tuning fork its great because I can keep it in my pocket onstage, very pleased it does the job.

It is quite small but does its job. If you hit it hard enough you will be able to hear its A loud enough even if you are in a noisy environment.

I had previously bought a more expensive tuning fork on eBay and lo and behold, it wasn't in tune. Kind of the point of a tuning fork. Sent it back for a refund, ordered one of these from Thomann and not only was it cheaper, but it's bang on tune and more compact. Love it. The only possible improvement would be a hole through the tip of the handle to attach it to a keyring or hang it.
