Demonstrate resonance and energy transfer in sound waves
Make resonance and beats something students can hear and understand. The Sympathetic Resonator Tuning Fork Set includes two C-note (256 Hz) tuning forks—one fixed and one adjustable—each mounted on a wooden resonance box, plus a mallet. Strike one fork and match frequencies to demonstrate sympathetic resonance as the second fork responds without being touched. Slide the adjustable mass to introduce a slight frequency difference and the room fills with audible beats. Precise tuning (±0.5%) ensures clear, repeatable results for whole-class demos.
Why Teachers Love the Sympathetic Tuning Fork Set
- Whole-class audibility: Wooden resonance boxes amplify sound so everyone can hear the effect.
- Two concepts, one set: Instantly demonstrate both sympathetic resonance and beats.
- Adjustable and precise: Slider makes it easy to dial in frequency differences; forks are tuned to ±0.5%.
- Simple, durable setup: Classic tools that are reliable, intuitive, and classroom-ready.

What You Can Teach with the Sympathetic Resonator Tuning Fork Set
Ideal for middle school through high school physics and physical science:
- Resonance: Energy transfer between systems with matching natural frequencies.
- Sympathetic vibration: How one oscillator can drive another without direct contact.
- Beats: Interference from two close frequencies and the resulting beat frequency.
- Frequency & pitch: Connect physical frequency changes to what students hear.
- Wave interference (qualitative): Constructive and destructive effects in sound waves.
