A Rare Set of Large Scientific Tuning Forks, by Dr. Rudolf Koenig (1832 - 1901),
Contained in a fitted oak case.
Case dimensions: H: 5 x W: 23 1/2 X D: 19 in.
Tuning forks are equipped with sliding brass weights on their tines, which are adjusted to deliver various tones by clamping them into fixed positions engraved on the sides of the tines. These show both the frequency and the ratio that produces it.
