  Greetings List.  I also place the fork between my teeth to set middle =
C- it seems like the best way to really hear what's going on, although =
after having a filling recently, I now have to use different teeth =
'cause the filling has deadned the sound!  I also use my knee to strike =
the fork on- I was always taught never to bang a tuning fork against a =
hard surface....
  Best wishes
