The AccuFork is great -- solid sound, good volume, and you don't have to use up another hand.  Plus, no chance of hurting your knee or the keyslip when striking a metal fork.  And no worries about the pitch being off from temperature: it's hard to put in a temperament strip while holding your fork in your armpit!  You can also measure pitch deviations a little bit with the slider.  It's kind of expensive, though.

Here's the fork Joe recommended: www.oneidaflatware.com

  Funny, Joe. ;-)

   

  I use the Sanderson AccuFork. You know, I started out with that, and have never used a traditional fork except for maybe once or twice. I'm a relative newcomer - started learning aural tuning in 2000, and my mentor strongly recommended the AccuFork, so that's what I got. Love it!

   

  I would enjoying hearing from those who have used both the AccuFork and traditional fork, or another method.
