Otto Tuning Fork Set – 32, 64 & 128 Hz

A massage therapist favorite! All three Otto octaves in one set: 32, 64 and 128 Hz. Combined, you can choose which level of tone and body depth you'll be working with. We dare you or your clients to stay stressed once they experience these deep calming vibrations!

Otto Tuners are our first recommendation for bodyworkers, massage therapists, and sound healers. US Made Quality, Aerospace Grade resonant aluminum alloy tuning forks.

The 128 Hz, the root note of the Otto octave set, has been studied for its ability to stimulate nitric oxide production, increase the effectiveness of acupressure points, and down-regulate the nervous system.

The 64 Hz and 32 Hz have not yet had significant scientific study of their own, but Soma's extensive community of practitioners and sound healing enthusiasts frequently report them to be therapeutic when used on muscles and fascia for tension release and pain management.

For best results, add Soma Glider Boots. They make the forks more comfortable to use, give the vibrations more surface area, and let you glide over tissue, meridians, and acupressure points, or gently massage into muscles, tension, hotspots, and pain areas. For professionals and serious healing work, the Glider Boot is essential.

Benefits:

• Deep relaxation and soothing peace
• Relaxes body tissue
• Used by therapists to help ease clients dealing with muscle tension, spasms, and pain. Can be self-applied as well.
• Encourages blood circulation
• Stimulates nerves on the skin and hair

Get even more with the Soma Glider Boot: more comfort, more surface area for the vibrations, and the freedom to glide and massage.

On the body

1. Set a positive intention for your session and take a deep inhale and exhale before you begin.
2. With the finger or thumb of your free hand, locate the spot on the body where you want to place the tuning fork.
3. Hold the fork by the stem and gently tap the body (the weighted portion) on a soft part of your body such as palm, thigh, or shoulder, or on a rubber activator, puck, or mallet. This will set the weights in motion and create a pure tone. The fork can also be activated by squeezing the weights together with thumb and forefinger and letting go.
4. Press the end of the stem onto the spot and make firm contact.
5. Hold the tuning fork until you feel the vibrations stop.

On skin and hair (32 Hz, also the 64 Hz)

1. Activate the fork as above.
2. Lightly touch your skin or hair with the edge of the tuning fork body. You will feel it stimulate, vibrate, and "tug" at your skin and hair.
3. You can also tap the fork and move it very slowly across an area just above your skin without touching.

For listening

1. Hold one or two Otto Tuners (the 128 + 64 pair works beautifully) by the stems and activate them as above.
2. Hold one fork about an inch from your left ear and one an inch from the right ear, or a single fork moved from one ear to the other over the head.
3. Adjust the distance by tone. This creates a long, sustained low pitch, excellent for grounding and relaxation.

With the Soma Glider Boot (recommended)

The Glider Boot attaches permanently to the end of the stem, so once it is on, your fork is always ready to glide.

1. Activate the fork as above.
2. Place the boot on the body and glide slowly over tissue, meridians, and acupressure points.
3. Pause to gently massage into muscles, tension, hotspots, and pain areas.
4. Re-tap when the vibration fades.

Where to use them. All Otto forks can be used over the entire body, guided by your intuition. Traditionally, each fork is thought of with its own focus:

• 128 Hz: the ribs, head, thoracic vertebrae, sternum and ilium.
• 64 Hz: the lower lumbar vertebrae, sacrum and coccyx. Its vibration helps loosen the sacral ligaments as well as stimulating the ganglion impar, a nerve center at the base of the spine.
• 32 Hz: the skin and hair, to stimulate nerves.

With Soma Glider Boots, you can glide from point to point instead of lifting and replacing the fork.

A family with history. The tuning fork was invented by John Shore in 1711, and the 128Hz (C note A432 Hz) is among the oldest, most widely produced, and most scientifically studied tuning forks in human history. Tuned to the older A432Hz "natural" scale, the Otto family is lauded for its uses in the medical field, sound healing, meditation, and body work.

Why Otto Tuners feel different. The Otto Tuners vibrate at a low pitch, and due to their weighted ends the sound lasts longer than that of regular tuning forks; the sound vibrates into the bones for relaxation. Their frequencies are based on an 8 Hz fundamental tone raised in octaves (8 Hz, 16 Hz, 32 Hz, 64 Hz, 128 Hz). The 8 Hz fundamental, which is based on the pulsation of the planet earth (the Schumann resonance, about 7.83 Hz), is the generating tone for many of our tuning forks.

The set includes:

• 1 – 32 Hz Otto Tuner
• 1 – 64 Hz Otto Tuner
• 1 – 128 Hz Otto Tuner
• High quality travel pouches
• Otto Quick Start Guide

Soma Glider Boots sold as an optional upgrade – we recommend one for each fork.

Massage therapists: the 128 Hz Otto is the fork used in our NCBTMB-approved, in-person OttoGlider Massage Tuning Fork Course, taught by Pat Krause at Universal Energy Massage in Cocoa, Florida. See the OttoGlider Kit.

Pairs well with:

• Soma Glider Boot – essential for best results. More comfortable to use, more surface area for the vibrations, and lets you glide over tissue, meridians, and acupressure points and gently massage into muscles. We highly recommend it for professionals, serious healing work, and anyone looking to get the most out of their Otto Tuners.
• Acupressure's Potent Points by Michael Reed Gach – an amazing resource for how and where to use your tuners: point maps for 40+ common complaints, with 400+ photos and illustrations. Many practitioners find a tuning fork more potent than touch alone on acupressure points.
• Otto Massage Tuning Fork Kit – for massage therapists: the 64 Hz and 128 Hz Ottos with Soma Glider Boots already attached, an activator, and Michael Reed Gach's Acupressure's Potent Points.
• SomaEnergetics Body Tuners – the Otto tuners can complement any other forks we carry, including the Solfeggio Energy set. To complement the Solfeggio Energy Tuners directly, and go deeper with our Phase I, II, III certification training, we recommend our Solfeggio weighted body forks. Many massage therapists ultimately use both sets.
