I value the suggestion to return it-I'm too busy to experiment with filing an expensive fork that far from appropriate pitch. The fork was compared to Tunelab (calibrated via phone) and other cheaper tuning devices and all were 6-8 cents flat (if those numbers on the right side of the box in Tunelab equal "cents"). How does that translate into cents in the A440 range? The fork is stamped A440. The fork (warmed to room temperature) beat 19 times in seconds or about 2 beats per second. I don't understand the math of the beats vs. > On Jan 20, 2011, at 8:52 AM, James Sasso wrote: On Jan 20, 2011, at 6:04 AM, Al Guecia/Allied PianoCraft wrote: Or, if you change A2 by 1 cent, you've only changed its fundamental 1/16 Hz, because its 16th partial is A6, so 4 octaves below, the 1 Hz (1 cent) is divided by 16. So for example, if you change A3 by 1 Hz at the fundamental, you've changed it 8 cents, because A6 is its 8th partial, so the 1Hz change is multiplied by 8, and 8 cents at A6 = 8 Hz. And, it's true whether you're thinking about A6 as the fundamental, or as a harmonic of a lower note. This is the only pitch for which this is true. So at A5, 2 cents=1 Hz, and now, here's the key, So:Įvery half step contains 100 cents, but the Hz doubles each octave higher. Memorize what Al wrote, plus the key below, and everything else can be estimated in your head from that. Here's an easy way to convert between beats and cents. If you do not hear the tune, then check the sound on your computer, or try opening the application in another browser.This is true, but only at A440. In the upper right corner you can adjust the volume of the sound. To turn off the sound, click on the “fork” again. After that, you will immediately hear the sound of note A. In order to hear it, you need to click on the “iron fork”. ![]() It provides you with the audio sample of the highest quality and accurate frequency. The service is available free of charge and without registration. This application recreates the main function, the look and the classic form of the tuning fork. Thanks to the tuning fork, tuning of musical instruments at home has become easy and accessible even to non-professional musicians. When you hit it, the vibration starts which provokes the needed sound. Actually the musical tuning fork is a "piece of iron" in the form of a fork. This frequency is an international standard for note La or A. Tuning fork generates the constant sound with frequency 440 Hz. It is also needed for glee rehearsals, especially when singing A cappella. Usually it is used for tuning guitars, violins, violas, pianos and many other musical instruments. For this purpose people invented a special tool – tuning fork. On this page you can use a musical tuning fork online.įrom time to time any musical instrument needs to be tuned.
