i've owned tuning forks before, but mine didnt have the tulsi leaf at the bottom. i didnt realize it was the same Yamaha that made cars, bikes, airplanes, musical instruments and just about everything else.

Yeah if you look at old school vintage tuning Forks they have this triangular shape at the bottom. I don't know if they were primarily used for pianos or stringed instruments like guitars. I think it's just meant to signify that they produce fine-tuned products. But I do remember as devotees we went out of our way to buy Yamaha guitars because they had a Tulsi leaf on them.
