Aluminum forks are not stable enough to be reliable. They will change
pitch if you as much as breathe on them (literally!). The blued Walker
forks are pretty good but I've found the nickel plated ones to be the
most reliable (and most expensive).

Wondering which type (Aluminum, blued steel or the more expensive (John 
Walker)nickel plated) of A440 fork is preferred or used most.
