Note: These tuning forks are made of aluminum, which is a soft metal, great for harmonics and sound healing. Because of this softness, you might find the occasional small mark or scratch. The fork isn’t damaged, nor is the tuning off. It can happen during packing by the manufacturer, or during shipping and handling. We provide safe storage and great care when handling them.
Modes are ancient scales that sonically color the mind of the listener through subtle shifts in tone color. The Modal Spectrum Upgrade is a set of 5 forks in a beautiful green velvet bag. These modes present the ancient Greek scales called Dorian, Ionian, Aeolian, Locian, Phrygian, Lydian, and Mixolydian. These modes are ambient fields of sound containing thousands of changing harmonic colors. Mindfully listening to a mode activates a healing response within yourself based on the healing qualities associated with each mode.
Ionian (Mercury) - C D E F G A B To inspire clear communication and putting together thoughts to reflect inner vision.
Dorian ( Sun) - C D E♭ F G A B♭ To awaken and clear the mind - good in the morning. It was the most used mode in Gregorian chant.
Phrygian (Mars) - C D♭ E♭ F G A♭ B♭ To awaken motivation and drive to reach your goals.
Lydian (Jupiter) - C D E F# G A B To promote good feelings, happiness, and a sense of celebration of life.
Mixolydian (Saturn) - C D E F G A B♭ To support increased focus and clarity.
Aeolian (Venus) - C D E♭ F G A♭ B♭ To stimulate artistic creativity through quite dreamy and reflective moods.
Locrian (Moon) - C D♭ E♭ F G♭ A♭ B♭ To calm down after a stressful day and to promote good sleeping and dreaming.
Creating Modes is Simple! To create a mode, begin with the Solar Harmonic Spectrum Tuning Forks. Next, take out a tone and replace it with a modal tone as shown above. For example, to create the Dorian mode, take out the E and B forks and replace them with the E♭ and B♭ forks. To create the Lydian mode, take out the F fork and replace it with the F# fork.
