Tuning forks are fascinating, simple tools that don’t get quite enough appreciation. The hum of a tuning fork is produced by the vibration of the prongs which create tiny, alternating high and low pressure regions of air which radiate out. This is what we call sound.
Why do tuning forks have two prongs? If it had just one prong, essentially a metal rod, the force of striking one end would cause an opposite force on the other end, where your hand would dampen the vibration quickly. But with two prongs, the force travels through the bar and is exerted in the second prong. The handle becomes the neutral point so the sound lasts much longer.
Tip: Hold the handle against a hard surface for maximum ring time.
