Tuning Fork is a two-pronged steel device used by musicians, which vibrates when struck to give a note of specific pitch.
The pitch that a particular tuning fork generates depends on the length and mass of the two prongs. It is frequently used as a standard of pitch to tune musical instruments. The tuning fork was invented in 1711 by British musician John Shore, Sergeant Trumpeter and Lutenist to the court.

Tuning forks, typically aluminum, consist of a stem (handle) and two prongs that form a U-shaped fork . The tuning fork vibrates at a set frequency after being struck on the heel of the hand and is used to assess vibratory sensation and hearing (air conduction and bone conduction).
