Tuning Fork on Resonance Box
Tuning Fork on Resonance Box (Product Code: SLE/PHY/315) is a set of four steel tuning forks mounted on a wooden resonance box, used to demonstrate how single notes build a basic major chord in school and college sound lessons. Teachers sound C (256Hz), E (320Hz), G (384Hz) and upper C (512Hz) one by one or together, making it a compact physics demonstration kit for a whole class. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Tuning Fork Resonance Box Used For?
The four forks are tuned to the notes of a C major chord plus its octave. Their frequencies stand in the simple ratio 4:5:6:8, so students can hear why notes whose frequencies form small whole-number ratios sound pleasant together, and why the top C at 512Hz, exactly double 256Hz, sounds like the same note one octave higher. The wooden box acts as a resonator, reinforcing the vibration so the notes carry across a classroom.
In a sound wave experiment, strike one fork at a time with a soft rubber striker, then add the others to build the chord step by step. Touch a prong lightly to stop a note before sounding the next. Never strike the steel forks on a bench or with metal, as this can damage the prongs and shift the pitch.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Confirm that the four-fork chord arrangement (256Hz, 320Hz, 384Hz and 512Hz) suits your lesson plan.
- Number of units needed — one for the demonstration bench, or several for group work.
- Whether a striker should be quoted separately, since the listing covers the forks and box only.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Tuning Fork on Resonance Box. The forks and resonance box are made and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, rather than bought in from a trader. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers therefore deal directly with the maker, and if a unit is ever damaged you can ask us about replacement parts. More about the company is on our company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What frequencies are on the Tuning Fork on Resonance Box?
The Tuning Fork on Resonance Box carries four steel forks tuned to C (256Hz), E (320Hz), G (384Hz) and upper C (512Hz). Together they give a C major chord with its octave, which is why the set is used to show how basic major chords are formed.
Why are the forks mounted on a wooden box?
On the Tuning Fork on Resonance Box, the wooden box works as a resonator: the vibrating fork sets the box and the air inside it vibrating too, so the note is much louder than a hand-held fork and can be heard clearly by a whole class.
Is a striker included with the Tuning Fork on Resonance Box?
The listing for the Tuning Fork on Resonance Box covers the four steel forks on their wooden box and does not mention a striker. If you need a rubber striker, say so in your enquiry and we will confirm what can be quoted with the set.
How should the Tuning Fork on Resonance Box be looked after?
Strike the forks of the Tuning Fork on Resonance Box only with a soft rubber striker, never against a bench or metal object. Do not bend or file the prongs, wipe off fingerprints and moisture after use, and store the unit in a dry cupboard to protect the steel.
Who manufactures the Tuning Fork on Resonance Box?
The Tuning Fork on Resonance Box is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. It is supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
Can a calibration certificate be supplied with the Tuning Fork on Resonance Box?
The forks of the Tuning Fork on Resonance Box are listed at their nominal frequencies. If your institution needs a calibration certificate, please discuss it with us through the contact page before ordering so we can confirm what documentation is possible.
