Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After reading several conflicting reviews about the length of the tone, I was nervous it wouldn't ring for long. I had a helper and we used a stopwatch while I struck the fork and held it very close to my ear and indicated when I could no longer hear the tone. As far as my hearing goes, the sound became undetectable after 32 seconds. That's a good long tone! People reviewing saying it doesn't ring for long are either striking it too close to the base or may have partial hearing loss. Per the advice of another reviewer, I used it for my small dog and, after getting used to me hovering the fork around his body, he totally blissed out. He was closing his eyes and swaying. I've recently become interested in sound healing and also purchased a full chakra tuning fork set and a 528hz pipe chime but this fork will travel with me everywhere always. This tuning fork met several requirements for me: I wanted it to include a striker and a closing pouch so I can keep it in my purse for zen on the go.
