The Wittner tuning fork is not only cheaper, but significantly better! I only ordered the Planet Waves one because the Wittners were out of stock and I really needed a tuning fork after I lost mine. To tune, I normally knock the fork on my knee and then stick the butt end of the fork close to my ear. The butt end of this fork hurts like the bejeebers next to or on my face. Also, it is very quiet. So quiet, that no matter where or how I hold the fork, I can hardly hear the pitch. It's nearly useless as a tuning fork. Everyone's experiences are different. My advice, after 20+ years playing timpani, is to save your money and just go with the 'ol standby, the Wittner.
Great

I don't see how a tuning fork could get any better. It's small, quiet, and accurate. The grip is great, and the color coded handles are useful in identifying which note is which when you have several of these.
Essential for all timpanist

This is by far all a timpani player needs to be able to tune. I love the grip on it since it doesnt muffle sound. I can also hear it clearly with a full ensemble right in front of me, I used it a lot this weekend at an honors band clinic. Great buy!!!
Good buy

This is something to have if you are good with intervals, or even if you want to train your ears to hear intervals better. It's definitely not as loud as using a pitch-pipe, or hitting a mallet instrument. It's also not as disturbing during a quiet section during a movement.
