My mail program has degenerated to the extent I have difficulty reading all the replies —  One idea I have is to use a thin plastic tube so the tube becomes a radiator.  Of course the resonance will not be as ”sharp”.  

The turning fork may have the advantage of using the stem against the tube, in this case a glass tube, perhaps.  

bc   must contact apple.   


tuning forks from India are very inexpensive.
