Yep! I've got one of those! somewhere? I used to hit those and put them on my tooth! Then the pick guard body of an acoustic guitar. I think they are more dependable then the pitch pipe. Pitch pipes get messed up from the corrosion in the humidity of the breath shortly after they are started to be used.........

You got me all teary-eyed from reminiscing about the way things used to be in the "goodle-days" when it finally dawned on me that I can replace the one I lost from the link I found... so now there are 57 sold, one of which is supposed to arrive at my house around Friday.

I used to have one and a tuning fork..............they must have run away from home, I can't find them.

I still have one. My first instructor insisted I learn to tune with that and the 5th and 7th fret harmonics. My time would have been better spent learning to play.

+1, and the shipping is free! The pitch pipe was nearly as much to mail as it was to blow...

Does anybody sell a set of 5? (EADGB)

How do you calibrate it?

How do you calibrate it?

You either file a bit off the prongs or solder a blob on them

Yikes! That's what I used to have to do to tune the steel "reeds" on Wurlitzer electric pianos. Had to be careful with the solder, though. If I heated the reed too much it would lose its sustain.

I have an A and an E fork, just because. Some day I might learn to tune my axen like a big boy.

I used to hit those and put them on my tooth!

Hopefully you meant 'one of your teeth'!!

 

[mountain man]

Hopefully you meant 'one of your teeth'!!

No, I meant that I struck the tuning fork and placed it on "a" tooth. I didn't place it on "a" teeth. Is this forum about trying to correct grammar now?
