128 Hz Tuning Fork Weight Aluminum Clinical Grade Nerve/Sensory with Silicone Hammer, Repair Tool, Cleaning Cloth and Soft Storage Bag

It was difficult selecting a tuning fork on Amazon purely because there were so few reviews and the ones that did exist often complained of bent prongs, breakage, or poor quality in terms of rough metal edges. The more expensive, and well rated, tuning fork sets for full audiometry are not necessary as an NP in family practice, and thus were out of the question. This tuning fork is not marketed toward allopathic medicine practitioners, however it is exactly what I was looking for. The prongs are strait, it seems quite sturdy, and there are no sharp edges. The little wooden striking implement is kind of nice also. I normally rap a tuning fork in the palm of my hand, which is ok - it does the job - but I noticed that the vibratory tone lasts longer if I can give it a firm tap with the rubberized striking implement. My palm doesn't hurt that way either. I can't see myself carrying the striker around in a lab coat but if it is in my drawer at the office then I could see myself using this. I've heard conflicting views on using a 128 hz vs 512 hz tuning fork for audio testing. Ultimately I went with a 128 hz fork as it is less annoying sounding to patients.

Pros: Long resonation with a moderate strike. Carry Bag. Mallet. Included microfiber cloth could be used for glasses if you don't use it on the hammer. Inexpensive ($10.99 for me). Sturdy.Cons: Not really a con, since I won't be using it for instrument tuning, but it does not resonate at 128Hz exactly. It seems to vary between 125.4-125.6, which is probably just related to temperature. If you want 128Hz exactly, consider a higher-grade tuning fork.Comments: This tuning fork is well-built, solid, and resonates for quite a while. The mallet is a nice bonus. I don't see a need for the microfiber cleaning cloth. This item comes bundled in a velvet-ish, soft bag with a drawstring and sliding lock. I'd call this an overall decent buy.

I didn't note any sharp edges or major quality issues like a previous review. Used this for my nurse practitioner clinical skills exams. This is better for vibratory sense (low frequency) than weber/rinne but it can work for those too. I previously purchased another tuning fork from Amazon for around the same price and the quality was terrible in comparision. The little "drumstick" is nice; you can use it for percussion. Would recommend.

Basic tuning fork. Does the job. Seems to be sturdy enough. Don’t really use the hammer

I never used one of these before but wanted to try myself. I have no way to tell if they really work but you can fill the vibration in your bones as stated. The mallet is nice as not all tuning forks came with a mallet. Comes with case, mallet, cleaning cloth and an allen wrench.

Lo compre al principio de mi residencia en neurólogo y llevo ya 6 años con el producto, muy buen producto y de buena Calidad

So this product was all in all great. However they said a tuning key would be included and it was not. Really disappointed, this thing makes great sound but it could be louder if I could adjust it. :(

Used this for school and it served its purpose. It worked correctly with no issues. The tuning for is well made and heavy duty, even if you drop it there should be no concern of damaging it. I would definitely recommend.
