I must be at the zenith of my career, my own line of A-440 tuning forks introduced at workshops this weekend in Palo Alto, San Jose and Napa, California. Pinch me! http://playukulelebyear.blogspot.com
Jim, i want one. I did not see a link for the fork on the site yet, so please let me know when its up, or if i missed it. I may have to come to the workshop again which would be fun.
Thanks, and you are right about the tuning fork being an advance ear training tool.I use a tuning fork. Less expensive than an electric tuner, and my tuning fork is a very advanced tool for training my ears; an electric tuner doesn't do that.
Congratulations, Jim, now you're forked!
Yes, Kurt I'll have them Saturday. Good luck on winning the Kala uke we are giving away!I used to use tuning forks with my guitars years back - I'd like to have one to go with the ukes, as an adjunct to the electronic tuners.
Will you have them with you on Saturday in San Jose?

Tuning forks have a couple advantages... very compact, no batteries and you can pick them up for around $5. Although ever since I picked up one of those small inexpensive clip-on tuners I've been hooked. Up until then my iPhone had taken over duty as my tuner. It's the one tuner I always have with me.That's cool, but who still uses tuning forks? Seriously, electronic/clip-on tuners are way more advanced.
I have an old "C" fork (don't even remember where I got it a few decades ago) but I consider it an antique/novelty and not something I'd really use.
Jim, had trouble with your link.
This link seems to work better for me. Is this the video?
