Nowadays they are used mainly for testing hearing, tuning musical, keeping time in a quartz watch, and teaching the principles of vibration and resonance in the classroom. The alternative health community uses tuning forks for healing purposes. But what did the ancients use them for? First consider this photo of the Abernethy Pictish Stone in Perthshire, Scotland: There you clearly see a tuning fork and hammer. To the right of the fork is what looks like an anvil, ax-head, or horn.
