Why are some instruments not in concert pitch?
The answer may depend. If you are playing the clarinet at the same "pitch" as the tuning fork, you should hear the same frequency (the notes should sound the same). However, if you are playing the same note name, it's probably because theclarinet is a b-flat instrument and the tuning fork is probably tuned to concert A at 440.
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.
What is the frequency of tuning fork?
Tuning forks are available for all standard notes, but the most common is an A note, which is 440 Hz
What is the relationship between the number on the tuning fork and the pitch of the tuning fork?
In a simplistic way, pitches are nothing more than vibrations in the air. These vibrations happen at certain frequencies (the number of vibrations per second, measured in Hertz). The more vibrations per second the higher we perceive that pitch to be. A440 is now the tuning standard - that means that that A, in the middle of the treble staff, vibrates 440 times per second, or at 440 Hz. A note an octave higher would vibrate at 880 Hz and an octave lower vibrates at 220 Hz. Most tuning forks are pitched at A440, but you can get other notes (and even other temperaments). Those other notes vibrate at different frequencies, so the number on the tuning fork correspond to the numbers of vibrations-per-second that tuning fork makes.
Why were GCEA chosen as the notes on an ukulele?
The current 'standard' or most common tuning is G'CEA also called Reentrant Tuning. Most of the music is based on this tuning. It has evolved over time, for the most part as music styles have changed.

Does the Bulova symbol have a meaning?
When Bulova innovated the tuning fork-based timekeeping mechanism, it was the most accurate timekeeping mechanism to date. Bulova built much fame and fortune on it. The logo represents this tuning fork. If you ever look at photos of the innards of a Bulova watch, you can see the logo is identical to this tuning fork.
