Description:
A steel acoustic resonator or tuning fork with a threaded handle, made around 1865 by Rudolph Koenig, a German instrument maker working in France.
Y-shaped head. The fork's two straight tines parallel each other along their length and are angled inward at the bottom of the "U" where they connect to a rounded mahogany cylinder with brass fittings on either end. Protruding from the bottom of the cylinder is a single rounded bar with a threaded end which passes through a brass adjustment knob with a knurled edge.
