Best Answer

A guitar is a far more complex structure than a tuning fork, and has more harmonics. The whole design of a tuning fork is intended to give as simple and pure a sound as possible, since that is the easiest type of sound to use when you are trying to tune an instrument. You wouldn't want harmonics in a tuning fork.

What does the tuning fork do to produce a sound wave in the air?

Most tuning forks are designed to resonate at 440 hertz when struck. That is the frequency of the A before middle C on a keyboard or the A string on a guitar, violin, etc. You just strike the tuning fork then adjust the tension on your A string until the string vibrates at the same frequency as the tuning fork. Then you tune the rest of your strings from the A string.
