All beginning guitarists and even more experienced ones sooner or later face the problem of how to tune a guitar? There are several ways to tune a guitar. They all give good result, with the right approach.
But the choice, of course, is yours. In addition, the results of tuning for different methods differ - slightly, but experienced guitarists can easily hear the difference.
It is only possible to tune a guitar with sufficient precision—just enough for listeners to find the tuning harmonious enough.
Guitar tuning methods:
1.Tuning with a portable guitar tuner.
2.Configuration using software and online tuner.
3.Setup via phone.
4.Tuning fork.
5.Guitar tuning at the fifth fret.
6.Tuning by harmonics.
1. Guitar portable tuner
Guitar tuner is an electronic device that uses a microphone to analyze the vibration frequency of the string and helps the guitarist quickly and very accurately tune the guitar.
The principle of its operation:
By pressing the buttons on the tuner, it plays a sound that is the standard for each string. Next, you pluck the string, and the tuner will show the difference (on a scale or screen), whether you need to tighten the string or loosen it.
If the arrow goes to the left, then the string is understretched; if it goes to the right, it’s overtightened; if it stops in the middle, the string tuning is complete.
Turn the pegs until the sound of the string is in unison with the sound of the standard.
To tune a guitar using a tuner, you need to know letter designation strings
Each string on a guitar has its own name.
The first, which is also the thinnest, is called “E (mi)”, then in order: B (si), G (sol), D (re), A (la), and the sixth, like the first, is also called “E (mi)". The note to which the letter corresponds is indicated in brackets.
Of course, the more serious the tuner, the closer the sound is to the reference one.
This method is convenient because you can quickly and accurately tune your instrument in almost any conditions, and also does not require good hearing.
2. Software and Online tuner
With this tuner you can tune both acoustic and electric guitars. To configure acoustic guitar There is a built-in microphone; for an electric guitar, you can use the line input for an instrument cable.
The principle of its operation:
When you play a string, the tuner shows the note that matches the string's frequency.
This way you can easily tune all the strings. The tuner shows you the note and what you need to do with the string, lower it or raise it.
Turn the pegs until the indicator is exactly in the center of the note you want and the green LED lights up steadily.
To tune a guitar using an online tuner, you only need a minimum of knowledge, namely what letters indicate the strings.
Here are the notes that correspond to these strings:
1st string - note E (lat. E)
2nd string - note B (lat. B)
3rd string - note Sol (lat. G)
4th string - note D (lat. D)
5th string - note A (lat. A)
6th string - note E (lat. E)
And to tune your guitar online, use this one. It is suitable for both beginners and professional guitarists.
3. Setup using your phone
If you find yourself in the field, where there is absolutely nothing, then your cell phone will help you tune the first string. We dial the number on the phone and put it on speakerphone.
The beeps emitted while waiting for an answer should sound in unison with the 1st string clamped at the 5th fret)
After the first string is tuned, we tune the rest:
The 2nd string, clamped at the 5th fret, sounds in unison with the 1st open;
The 3rd string, clamped on the 4th fret, sounds in unison with the 2nd open;
The 4th string, clamped at the 5th fret, sounds in unison with the 3rd open;
The 5th string, clamped at the 5th fret, sounds in unison with the 4th open;
The 6th string, clamped at the 5th fret, sounds in unison with the 5th open.
4. Standard method of tuning by ear using a tuning fork
If you don't have the opportunity to use a guitar tuner, then there are several other ways to tune your guitar, but they are more complex. For example, using a tuning fork.
Fork is a small portable device that accurately and clearly produces a sound of a certain pitch with weak harmonic overtones. A standard tuning fork produces the sound of the note “A” of the 1st octave, with a frequency of 440 Hz.
There are 2 types of tuning forks: Brass tuning fork and Fork tuning fork.
Tuning a guitar using a wind tuning fork (whistle)
Brass tuning fork is a simple device that operates on the principle of an ordinary whistle. The device is designed in such a way that the moment you blow into it, it emits a certain note. One of the strings of the guitar is tuned to this sound. The next string is tuned according to it, etc.
The advantage of wind tuning forks for guitar is that with their help you can extract not only one, but also three or even all six note sounds corresponding to each string.
For this purpose, the design of the device (depending on the model) has three or six holes.
This greatly simplifies the process of tuning and testing the guitar.
In order to use a tuning fork, you need good hearing, however, its compact size and low price make it almost indispensable. In addition, unlike an electronic tuner, tuning with a tuning fork develops your hearing well.
Tuning a guitar using a fork tuning fork
Fork tuning fork- is a metal fork that, when struck, produces the sound of a certain note, mainly the note “A” of the first octave, which corresponds to the 5th fret of the 1st string of the guitar. Its frequency is 440 Hz.
There are 2 types of fork tuning forks:
A tuning fork that produces a standard sound in the note A "A" (the fifth open string) is very popular, as well as tuning forks in the note E "E" (the first string).
In general, fork tuning forks are less common in practice than wind forks. They are not very comfortable. In order to tune the guitar, you need one more free hand.
Method of tuning a guitar with a tuning fork:
Hit the tuning fork with something, at the moment it makes a sound, lean it against the soundboard of the guitar, pluck the string and compare its sound with the sound of the standard.
You need to tune the 1st string in unison with the sound of the tuning fork, pressing it at the 5th fret. Those. you need to tighten the string, turning the pegs, until the moment when the tuning fork and the string begin to sound the same, with the same frequency.
After tuning the 1st string, the remaining strings can be tuned according to it, as follows:
You clamp the 2nd string at the 5th fret and adjust it so that it sounds exactly like the 1st.
Then you fret the 3rd string at the 4th fret and tune it so that it sounds exactly like the 2nd.
Then you fret the 4th string at the 5th fret and tune it so that it sounds exactly like the 3rd.
Then you fret the 5th string at the 5th fret and tune it so that it sounds exactly like the 4th.
Then you clamp the 6th string at the 5th fret and tune it so that it sounds exactly like the 5th.
If the strings sound different, then you need to tune the 5th string by adjusting the peg until the two sounds sound like one. Before doing this, you need to determine by ear whether the 5th open string sounds lower or higher than the 6th string pressed at the fifth fret.
If the 5th open string sounds lower than the 6th string when pressed at the 5th fret, then you need to tension the 5th string with the appropriate peg. This must be done carefully and slowly until the sound of the fifth open string cannot be distinguished from the pressed 6th string. If the 5th open string sounds higher than the 6th, pressed at the fifth fret, then you should loosen the tension of the fifth string, that is, turn the peg in the opposite direction.
This classic method of tuning a guitar is most common among beginning musicians because of its relative simplicity and clarity.
6. Guitar tuning by harmonics
And now we come to the most difficult way to tune a guitar. It is used mainly only by professional guitarists.
Flajolet is a technique of playing a musical instrument that involves extracting an overtone sound, that is, a sound with double the frequency.
The harmonic sound makes it possible to hear subtle differences in unison. Therefore, tuning a guitar with harmonics is the most accurate.
The harmonics are best played at the 12th, 7th and 5th frets.
Natural harmonic- this is a method of extracting sound from a string without pressing it to the fret fret, but only by lightly touching the fingertip to the place where the string is divided into 2, 3, 4, etc. parts.
To remove the harmonic, lightly touch the sixth string with your fingertip above the fifth fret. Then right hand We extract the sound, after which we immediately remove the finger of our left hand from the string. You should not remove your finger ahead of time, as this will result in the sound of an open string. Next, we immediately extract the harmonic over the seventh fret of the fifth string. The sounds of both harmonics should be even.
It is reasonable to use this method as a finishing touch after the standard method of tuning a guitar.
Method of tuning by harmonics:
The harmonic on the 7th fret of the 1st string should sound in unison with the harmonic of the 2nd string on the 5th fret.
The harmonic on the twelfth fret of the 3rd string should sound in unison with the 1st string pressed down on the third fret.
We tune the open 3rd string along with the 2nd string pressed at the eighth fret.
The harmonic on the 7th fret of the 3rd string should sound in unison with the harmonic on the 5th fret on the 4th string.
The harmonic on the 7th fret of the 4th string should sound in unison with the harmonic on the 5th string on the 5th fret.
The harmonic on the 7th fret of the 5th string should sound in unison with the harmonic on the 6th string on the 5th fret.
An amerton is a device that reproduces a reference note from which all other sounds on the instrument are tuned. There are the following common types of tuning forks: metal, wind and electronic.
1.1. Metal tuning fork
The metal tuning fork came to us from time immemorial. It is reliable, accurate, durable, and just looks beautiful.
Most of these tuning forks produce the note “A” of the first octave, which corresponds to the sound of the 1st string (strings are counted from bottom to top, the first string is the thinnest), pressed at the 5th fret. The tuning fork is used in two modes: quiet and loud. Quiet mode is when you hold an oscillating tuning fork to your ear. And loud - when you touch it, say, to a piano or to the soundboard of a guitar. At the same time, the sound volume increases noticeably.
So, let's start tuning the guitar.
- Take the tuning fork from the side where it has one tip and hit it.
- Listen to the note.
- You need to tune the first string so that, when pressed at the 5th fret, it gives the same sound as a tuning fork - the note “A”. Rotate the peg carefully so as not to overtighten or break the string.
- Have you set it up? Now let's listen to the open (not pressed) 1st string. This is the note "E". We need the 2nd string, pressed at the 5th fret, to sound the same way - to the note “E”. Set it up. Please note that the note “E” on the 1st and 2nd strings does not sound exactly the same - there is a difference in timbre (sound color).
- Now by analogy. Tune the 3rd string so that at the 4th fret it sounds like an open 2nd string. This is the note "B".
- The 4th string at the 5th fret is like the 3rd open string (G note).
- The 5th string at the 5th fret is like the 4th open (note “D”).
- The 6th string at the 5th fret is like the 5th open (note “A”).
Unlike a metal one, a brass tuning fork produces 6 sounds of open strings. It's convenient, but there are significant drawbacks. Such tuning forks are short-lived and gradually lose accuracy due to oxidation of the reeds.
- Blow into the hole corresponding to any string;
- Tune this string.
Although the error does not accumulate, checking by intervals and chords will still allow you to tune the guitar more accurately.
1.3 Electronic tuning fork
Can give many different sounds, the set of which differs depending on the model. The photo shows a Korg device that successfully combines a tuning fork and a metronome in one housing.
On most of these tuning forks, it is possible to calibrate the height of the reference note “A” of the first octave, relative to which the device tunes the remaining sounds. This can be useful if you play, say, with a piano tuned to 442 Hz (let me remind you that the reference frequency is 440 Hz). Here's how to tune the guitar:
| String | Name of note and octave | Designation on the display (depending on the device model) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The device indicates octaves according to the Helmholtz system | The device denotes octaves in scientific notation | The device indicates the note and number of the guitar string | ||
| 1 | "E" of the first octave | e1 | E4 | E1 |
| 2 | "B" small octave | b (possibly "h"*) | B3 (possibly "H3"*) | B2 (possibly "H2"*) |
| 3 | "Sol" of the small octave | g | G3 | G3 |
| 4 | "D" small octave | d | D3 | D4 |
| 5 | "A" of the major octave | A (capital "A") | A2 | A5 |
| 6 | "E" major octave | E (capital "E") | E2 | E6 |
* - there is confusion associated with the designation of the note “B”. Part musical world denoted by the letter “B”, and the part by “H”. Moreover, in the case of “H”, the B-flat note is designated as “B”. Most likely, your tuning fork will use the first designation, where "B" is "B".
Consider this point not only when tuning your guitar, but also when reading the alphanumeric chord symbols.
Another interesting point concerns which octave is which on the guitar fretboard. You can often find information that the first open string is “E” of the second octave, and all the rest, respectively, belong to the first and small. This is an erroneous statement. It comes from the fact that guitar notes are written an octave higher than piano notes. I will dispel this statement. The first open string is “E” of the first octave, as written in the table.
1.4. Other tuning fork options
The role of a tuning fork can be played by a dial tone on a landline phone, the first note of a ringtone on a cell phone, or something else. Just use your imagination.
2. Piano tuning
Everything is simple here. A piano is the same as a tuning fork, you just need to know which key to press. The diagram shows which key corresponds to which open string.
How well the piano itself is tuned is another matter. Practice shows that usually not very well. In this case, you can take only one of the piano notes as a standard, and build all the others from it, as in the case of a metal tuning fork. It is important that the guitar strings build with each other first and then with the piano. If you tune your guitar for a synthesizer, then there will be no tuning problems (unless the synthesizer is in good technical condition).
3. Tuning your guitar using a tuner
A tuner is a device that responds to the sound of your instrument and helps you tune it. The display shows different useful information, For example:
- Note name and octave;
- String name;
- Frequency of vibration of a note;
- Recommendations for tightening or loosening the string;
- Frequency of the reference note “A” of the first octave.
The most important characteristics for a tuner are the speed of the indicator’s response to the played sound and the step size of the indicator (the smaller the step, the more accurately you can tune the guitar). Tuners come in different designs and purposes. The following table describes the main varieties:
| Tuner type | Purpose | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clip-on tuner that attaches to the neck | Acoustic concerts | Aesthetic, lightweight, attach and forget | Has moving parts that break down over time |
| Pedal for connecting to an effects chain | Electric concerts with high level volume | Reacts only to a useful guitar signal, the noise in the hall does not interfere with it | Cumbersome, only works via cord connection |
| A small rectangular device with AA or AAA batteries | Home activities | These tuners often have a built-in metronome, which is convenient for home practice. | Not suitable for use at concerts |
| Tuner mobile application | Home activities | Free | Not convenient for use at concerts, may ring |
Now let's look at how to tune a guitar using the example of two tuners - mobile applications. The first of them is the most popular GuitarTuna. This tuner is designed specifically for guitarists, as evidenced by its guitar-style interface.
The application is able to automatically detect which string you are playing if the “auto” mode is turned on. It's enabled by default, but check it out.
- Play the first string.
- Look at the display. Make sure that the tuner recognizes the first string (the first string peg is illuminated). You will also see an indicator arrow sliding across the top of the screen and a green line extending from it. If the arrow and line are to the left center line, then the string needs to be tightened a little. If it's on the right, loosen it. You need to ensure that the green line covers the central one*. You can figure out which way to turn the peg experimentally.
- Tune the first string and do the same with the 2nd, 3rd, etc.
* - The string does not sound mathematically even, so the arrow dangles a little to the right and left and it may not be possible to completely close the middle strip. Just try to close it as much as possible. The 5th and 6th strings are especially capricious in this regard. When setting them up, you need to wait until the green bar becomes more or less stable. You may have to wait a second or two. At first you will see a curve, as if drawing a mountain across the entire screen, but then the indicator will find a conditionally stable position (“conditionally stable” because the arrow still dangles back and forth, but with a small amplitude). Focus on this conditionally stable position.
Most common mistakes for beginning guitarists when tuning a guitar:
- Turns the wrong peg
- Plays the wrong string
- Sets up in a place that is too noisy
- I turned off the “auto” mode and forgot about it
- Plays a note, immediately mutes it, and only then rotates the peg (the peg must be rotated while the note is sounding, observing in real time the behavior of the indicator arrow).
In the “auto” mode, the tuner determines the string by its pitch. That is, he hears that something close in frequency to the first string is now sounding and determines that this is the first string. If the guitar is very out of tune, then this method will not work. Then you need to set the string manually.
- Disable "auto" mode;
- Click on the image of the peg of the desired string, make sure that the peg is highlighted;
- Tune the string;
- Click on the image of the other string's peg and tune it. Similarly, tune the remaining strings.
It is important not to forget to switch the string by clicking on the peg icon. Otherwise, there is a risk of over-tightening and breaking the string.
Now let's try another tuner. It's called "DaTuner". It represents a different concept of tuners. There is no highly specialized guitar information on the display, such as “which peg to turn and which string we are currently tuning.” But there is the name of the note, octaves and sound frequency in hertz.
And now, using the table, we tune each string.
If you decide to purchase a clip-on tuner or something else, I still advise you to first practice these two mobile applications. The point is that they are accurate and have a fast response. Using them, you will understand what a real tuner should be like and, when you come to the store, you will choose a high-quality device.
4. Conclusion
The tuner makes tuning your guitar much easier. In fact, it configures the tool for you. Some may say that using it is harmful, because it does not develop your own ear for music. But I will object. Quite the opposite: hearing develops as the guitarist develops a standard for the correct sound of the instrument and over time he gets used to how it should be, and he has the ability to accurately tune the guitar by ear. If he starts with a tuning fork, then it is not a fact that his tuning will be accurate. For some reason, some people think that tuning by ear is easy, but I personally have seen more than once how even musicians, in whom ear for music there is no doubt.
Once you've mastered the tuning techniques presented in this article, it's time to deepen your understanding by reading my article, Professional Guitar Tuning. The fact is that although the tuner makes it possible to fine-tune open strings, but this does not mean that your guitar will perfectly stay in tune, say, in harmonies of three sounds. For live performances, the tuner's accuracy is more than enough, but in the studio, more precision is required. This is especially important for an electric guitar with distortion, where the slightest inaccuracy in tuning leads to “beating” and “out of tuning” at fifths.
Kirill Pospelov was with you. If you have any questions about the article, write to me at
The musical world is built on harmony and pleasant sound. This means that all instruments and voices must have the same tuning. Achieving this was not easy; a certain standard was needed that tuners and musicians could rely on. Through trial and error, the world finally learned what a tuning fork is.
Setting up is urgent!
This is precisely the position taken by John Shure, the trumpet maestro at the court of the great Queen of England, Elizabeth. He listened a lot and remembered, having absolute pitch. In 1711, a trumpeter invented strange object- a metal fork, when struck by something, a thin sound was heard.
Oddly enough, this sound was clear and quite pleasant. It was decided to tune instruments according to it, right down to the organs and choral ensembles in temples. The pitch of the sound was assigned to the note A of the first octave.
What does a real tuning fork look like?
The musical device looks very much like a fruit fork in high society. By analogy with a cutlery, it has two absolutely equal teeth, connected exactly in the center by a extending handle.
When asked what a tuning fork is, English-speaking tuners often say just that - tuner-fork, which literally means “tuning fork.”
An interesting fact is that the sound of a tuning fork itself is very quiet, so it needs a resonator. Most often, its role is played by a wooden box located under the device. In order for the vibrations to resonate and the sound to increase, this box is made in length equal to ¼ of the sound wave.
A little theory about frequencies
If what a tuning fork is is already known, then it is interesting to find out what kind of standard it symbolizes and how it is defined. Initially, the pitch was 420 Hz, but as manufacturing improved, it increased. In Vienna and other theaters in European capitals, vocalists were indignant - the tuning was inaccurate. So, in 1885 a standard was defined in Austria musical setting, where the tuning fork vibration frequency for the note A of the first octave was 435 Hz.
Early 20th century perfect sound again underwent changes, stopping at around 440 hertz. Main reason That's why it's an ensemble form. The orchestra's instruments, from winds to strings, are tuned at the most convenient frequency, from 440 to 442 Hz. We found out that a difference of 2 hertz is not detectable by the human ear, but different instruments may require it for full sound. The increased standard gave the sound brightness and greater expressiveness.
Temperature
The oscillation frequency is known to depend on temperature. Therefore, tuning the tuning fork must occur at a precisely specified temperature, and further verification of the sound with the instrument must be done as close as possible to it. What is the reason for this?
French acoustic equipment maker Koenig found that for every 1 degree Celsius increase in temperature, the number of oscillations decreases by 1 in every 10,000. Therefore, manufacturers try to tune tuning forks to 20 degrees, which is standard room temperature.
Achieving the desired sound
When you strike a tuning fork, you can first hear higher tones, which almost instantly fade away and leave only the main one. To achieve maximum accuracy and volume, as already mentioned, a resonator is attached - a wooden box, and sometimes other cylindrical or spherical structures made of glass or metal.
Standing waves are formed in the resonators, which are caused by air vibrations from the impact. This makes the sound stronger, but stops faster. The most optimal is a steel tuning fork, since it requires less resonance, and the sound is clear and without a strong amplitude. With minor temperature fluctuations, it is the steel “fork” that is considered the standard for the pitch of sound.
Applications in physics and other sciences
Tuning forks have become widespread among acoustics researchers in general. They achieve the longest sound using an electromagnetic tuning fork, keeping the vibrations at the same level for an unlimited amount of time (more precisely, limited solely by the flow of current).
An electric current is passed through a magnet coil from a galvanic cell (current source). Since any charged object is a magnet, the “horns” of the fork attract each other. Cutting off the current causes them to return to their original positions. The handle in this case acts as a circuit breaker. Mercadier is credited with the invention of the device.
In practice, the device is used in the Scheibler and Lissajous method to determine the exact number of oscillations over a period of time. Also, the Helmholtz microscope adopted the principle. It is much more effective to study string vibrations with its help. Tuning forks with resonators help generate standing waves in various devices, and are also used in chronographs.
Secrets of quality tuning
Immediately before the performance at keyboard instrument Under no circumstances should you adjust the piano to that same 2 Hz for “brightness,” from 440 to 442. The tuning will immediately begin to creep, which will become noticeable not only to the absolute player, but also to the average listener.
Pianos from the late 19th and early 20th centuries may not be adapted to the later adopted 440 Hz, so they are tuned to the Vienna standard - 435 Hz at a desired temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. Attempts to tune higher can lead to stretching and breaking of the strings, and it is no longer possible to replace them on such an instrument.
Modern modified instruments in an orchestra can generally conform to a single standard. Therefore, you should not experiment with height. Everything is checked with simple electronic keyboards - always at 440 Hz, without the slightest deviation. Convenient for checking tuning in large ensembles.
Despite the abundance of modern gadgets for tuning, such as tuners, the most reliable and beloved remains a simple steel device. Every tuner knows what a tuning fork is - a standard sound accepted throughout the world and established by centuries of research.
The Tuning Fork apparatus is a new generation of devices through which Manigat radio wave therapy is performed. The main purpose of the device is to treat chronic and acute diseases of internal organs, stimulate blood supply to systems and processes of cell and tissue regeneration. This device is approved for use medical workers regardless of their work profile, and is also suitable for home use.
The principle of action and therapeutic effect of Tuning Fork
The human body is a complex system with continuous functions. In the body, at the cellular level, information is regularly exchanged through electromagnetic waves. Cells are engaged in generating electrical and acoustic signals. Nuclear power plants provoke electromagnetic oscillations and trigger components that control the body’s biosystem. Based on the laws of quantum field theory, all physiological and biochemical processes are subject to it, with each cell acting as both a transmitter and a receiver.
A tuning fork creates a special signal, which is similar to the impulse of a completely healthy cell, and is purposefully transmitted in a directed flow.
They affect acupuncture points, receptors and reflex zones of all organs.
The effectiveness of the device is aimed at treating childhood diseases, gynecological diseases, genitourinary organs, skin, oral cavity and teeth, eyes and their appendages, musculoskeletal system, respiratory and ENT organs, digestive organs, metabolism, endocrine system, psycho-emotional disorders nervous system, cardiovascular system. Among the main effects of the device it is worth noting:
- medicinal;
- analgesic;
- strengthening;
- restorative, etc.
This device has been in production since 2007 and is actively used in many medical institutions.
The device is largely safe and can even be used to treat children. But still, it has certain contraindications, including the presence of built-in implants and stimulators, serious dysfunction of the central nervous system and cardiovascular system, and epilepsy. Therefore, it is recommended to start therapy using the Tuning Fork apparatus only after consulting a doctor and receiving his recommendations.
Technical characteristics of the device
Among the technical characteristics of the device for physiotherapy it is worth noting:
- the duration of work is about five years;
- it takes 2 thousand hours to fully develop power;
- has the ability to work continuously for eight hours;
- time to enter operating mode – twenty minutes;
- power supply – 220 V, 50 Hz;

Indications for use and effects
The Kamerton device is indicated for use when primary prevention is necessary to eliminate various risk factors, for the rehabilitation of patients with a chronic course of the disease, for the treatment of diseases of all systems and organs, regardless of their form and location.
Physiotherapy with the Tuning Fork apparatus for children
The device is actively used in pediatrics, as it is considered as safe as possible and does not cause any problems in children. side effects. Doctors prescribe the use of the device for the treatment of endocrine pathologies, skin diseases, ENT diseases, as well as to reduce fatigue, improve memory and normalize metabolism. It is worth noting that Tuning Fork demonstrates excellent performance in the treatment of gastrointestinal and liver diseases. It has a stimulating effect on cells, triggering its regeneration, therefore, it can be actively used to treat muscles during dislocations and sprains, as well as to restore bones and tissues during fractures.
Since the device has no contraindications for use in childhood, it can be used to treat pregnant women and newborns from the first day of their life. As a complex therapy, Tuning Fork is used in the treatment of malignant neoplasms and severe infectious diseases.
The device does not replace drug therapy, but is an auxiliary tool along with complex treatment.
The main components of healing technology using Tuning Fork are: environmental ecology, physical education, active healing, healthy psychology, non-drug correction of the body’s condition, screening diagnostics of the body.
The duration of the procedure is from twenty to twenty-five minutes. If the manipulation is carried out in the postoperative period, then in the first three to four days it is performed up to six times a day, and in the next seven to ten days - up to three times a day. Afterwards, you need to do the procedure for ten days once a day for up to five minutes.
If you use a device to relieve pain, you need to use it every day 2 times a day for 5 minutes for one week. Use is possible not through direct contact with the skin, but through an antiseptic bandage. If you perform the procedure together with special medications, the recovery process will be much faster.
More acute diseases are more difficult to treat and take longer; it is important to choose the right drug complex. It is worth noting that when choosing therapy through the use of the Tuning Fork apparatus, you need to find a reliable clinic with experienced and professional specialists.
A standard tuning fork produces an A sound of the 1st octave with a frequency of 440 Hz. In performing practice it is used for tuning musical instruments. When a choir sings a cappella (that is, without instrumental accompaniment), the choirmaster finds a tuning fork and indicates to the choristers the pitch of the sounds with which they begin their singing. The design of a tuning fork can be different. There are mechanical, acoustic and electronic tuning forks.
