Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It has long sustain and can be heard when put up to ear. I prefer this over computer tuning tones primarily because it's so portable and i keep it in my guitar case.

Tuning fork even works with electric guitars (with the amp turned on) though admittedly it’s clumsier than an electronic tuner. Perfect carrying in your case and never needs batteries.

It sustains as well as any fork this size. Only criticism is that the little colored band that denotes what pitch the fork is (in this case, green) is a loose-fitting rubber band.

Cons

I love that it sounds loudly and for an extended length of time, but unless it's accurate, it is useless. Not even as loud as a mosquito. I have a hard time tuning the guitar with it.

There is also some scraping and minor chipping on the back as if it had been dropped. Production dimensions are extremely misleading since it lists the dimensions of the *packaging*, not the fork itself.

For that matter, strike it and hold it against anything to hear the pitch.

Price

A cheap price to pay for peace of mind.

It's expensive but it came in key of e.

Shipping

Thanks for the quick shipping and accurate tuner.

The package came early and this item was exactly what i ordered and expected!

Competitiveness

I use a pitch pipe, the tuning fork, and then a couple of electronic tuners for comparison to show how accuracy improves with e... Read More

Compared to a cheap tuning fork, they just don't sound for long, so you're having to tap it sooner to get it ringing again.
