A tuning fork is a U-shaped, usually made from steel, resonator that resonates at a specific pitch or frequency when struck. It is made to tune Musical Instruments as it resonates at a constant pitch for a duration of time. It usually creates an overtone before the sound fades away.

This tool is rarely used, however, as there are electronic tuning devices that are much more accurate and easier to use than a tuning fork.
