The fundamental node does not yield accurate data because
the antinode isn't precisely at the opening! (I'm not sure
why.)

In my experience, the best results come from taking distances
between the nodes of a few harmonics; some students get an
accuracy of 2-3%.

Sometimes it's possible to distinguish the higher overtones,
but I have yet to pinpoint the torsional modes of the fork.

And don't forget the air temperature!
