There used to be a 256 fork that someone from times past left here.  It
was one of those big aluminum loud but inaccurate forks.  I gave it to a
Mu Ed teacher though I have no idea why she wanted it.

Nah...  just use your 256Hz tuning fork and do a "C" temperament
aurally.

Would you like to rent my 256 fork... ;-}
