10X Tuning Fork A-440 Glee Club, A capella

Description

From time to time any musical instrument needs to be tuned. For this purpose people invented a special tool – tuning fork. Usually it is used for tuning guitars, violins, violas, pianos and many other musical instruments. It is also needed for glee rehearsals, especially when singing A cappella.
Tuning fork generates the constant sound with frequency 440 Hz. This frequency is an international standard for note La or A. Actually the musical tuning fork is a "piece of iron" in the form of a fork. When you hit it, the vibration starts which provokes the needed sound. Thanks to the tuning fork, tuning of musical instruments at home has become easy and accessible even to non-professional musicians. This application recreates the main function, the look and the classic form of the tuning fork.
A tuning fork is an
acoustic
resonator
in the form of a two-pronged
fork
with the prongs (
tines
) formed from a U-shaped bar of
elastic
metal (usually
steel
). It
resonates
at a specific constant
pitch
when set vibrating by striking it against a surface or with an object, and emits a pure musical tone once the high
overtones
fade out. A tuning fork's pitch depends on the length and mass of the two prongs. They are traditional sources of standard pitch for
tuning
musical instruments.
The tuning fork was invented in 1711 by British musician
John Shore
, Sergeant
trumpeter
and
lutenist
to the court.
