![]() The tendency of one object to force another adjoining or interconnected object into vibrational motion is referred to as a forced vibration. The entire system (string, guitar, and enclosed air) begins vibrating and forces surrounding air particles into vibrational motion. The sound box in turn forces air particles inside the box into vibrational motion at the same natural frequency as the string. On the other hand, if the string is attached to the sound box of the guitar, the vibrating string is capable of forcing the sound box into vibrating at that same natural frequency. If you were to take a guitar string and stretch it to a given length and a given tightness and have a friend pluck it, you would hear a noise but the noise would not even be close in comparison to the loudness produced by an acoustic guitar. This input of energy disturbs the particles and forces the object into vibrational motion - at its natural frequency. Whatever the case, a person or thing puts energy into the instrument by direct contact with it. For instance, a guitar string is strummed or plucked a piano string is hit with a hammer when a pedal is played and the tines of a tuning fork are hit with a rubber mallet. If it does not hurt, you can try moving a little closer.Musical instruments and other objects are set into vibration at their natural frequency when a person hits, strikes, strums, plucks or somehow disturbs the object. I'd avoid these areas or, place the tuning fork at some distance from the injury and get feedback. ![]() The Otto 128 can help to heal these areas but remember that they will be sensitive and the vibration of the tuning fork may actually hurt. One thing to be careful of is broken bones or areas of recent surgery. You can place the Otto 128 anywhere there is pain be it in the hands, knees, lower back etc. Fifteen to twenty minutes later (sooner for some), the pain should be reduced or gone. The body will respond by releasing nitric oxide and ease the inflammation and stiffness. Once or twice is all that is necessary for each knuckle. If you are working on joint stiffness say in the knuckles, tap and place the stem of the Otto 128 on and around the knuckles. Specific Uses for the Otto 128 Weighted Tuning ForkĪs I mentioned in a previous article, nitric oxide helps to relieve joint and muscle pain by reducing inflammation. If you are uncertain about where to place the fork or want additional guidance, find an acupuncture chart and follow the merdians. There are some important acupuncture points in that area. When you get to the head, you can work your way back down the spine or, tap and place the tuning fork around the shoulder blades. This is important because if you tap the fork then - try to find the next point, too much time will have passed since you tapped and the vibration will have slowed or stopped.Ĭontinue doing this while working up the spine placing the stem of the tuning fork on each vertebrea. ![]() While the tuning fork is vibrating on the body, use your other hand to (gently) find the next point on the spine. The vibration should last between ten and fifteen seconds. ![]() Tap then place the stem of the fork on that point. With the tuning fork in one hand, use your other hand find the point where you'd like to place the fork. The nerves along the spine reach out to the major organs in your body so by working with the spine, you are helping to balance the health of the organs by stimulating the nerve endings and blood flow. General Health and the Otto 128 Weighted Tuning ForkĪs I mentioned, you can put this tuning fork anywhere but let's focus on the back along the spine. I'll talk about how to use this weighted tuning fork for general health and for specific issues. This tuning fork has been shown to promote the release of nitric oxide and is particularly good for relieving pain due to inflammation such as arthritis or sports injuries. Based on the earth frequency of 8Hz, the Otto 128 can be placed anywhere on the body but you feel it most on joints, muscle and nerve groups. The Otto 128 weighted tuning fork is the most popular forks in use today. ![]()
