Zoe, My opinion, if you are going to use a tuning fork, you want a regular constant source for temperature. As long as it is consistent it does not matter what you do. The armpit will provide consistency for you as your body does maintain a constant temp. Calibrate the fork with the armpit and keep using it. There are however better electronic sources. Accufork by Al Sanderson, calibrated guitar tuners and other piano tuning software. I stopped using my fork 20 years ago.
