Dear List - Finally happened, after 22 years of carefully calibrated service. My Deagan tuning fork (large), A=440.00 cps, has disappeared. Backtracking is impossible because I was using it out of town on a piano that was being used as a practice piano in a college dorm. It has since been moved. What a loud magnificent ring it had! I had learned to warm it properly so that it would be at 440 exactly. (Sob, sob, sob!). Anyway, can anyone recommend which of the large steel tuning forks to get? I've seen some advertised in APSCO and Schaff. Perhaps there are other sources (Renner? Fletcher & Newman? Itoshin?) that I should be investigating. I do have both an AccuFork II and RCT. But nothing gives comfort to an old aural tuner like one's reliable, non-electric steel tuning fork, n'est-ce pas? Thanks for your replies. Sincerely, Tom Sheehan, RPT NYC Chapter aquinas@nyct.net
