<BR>Uh..., Wim...,
<BR>
<BR>Filing a tuning fork makes it smaller and therefore sharper. I know that a
<BR>fork can be filed at the base of the tines to make a fine adjustment in the
<BR>flat direction, but 440Hz to 415Hz is NOT a vernier adjustment.
<BR>
<BR>Maybe you've come up with a technique to file something longer??? ;-}
