Interesting, didn't knew that. Are there tuning forks in G available in these countries?

I assume so. You can get a tuning fork for any note pretty much anywhere.

Not in Germany, where I only saw different "A" tuning forks so far ... 440 Hz and 435 Hz for example.

Only in medical supply shops you get "C" 64 Hz or 128 Hz too.

Yes, but only "E" in 329.6Hz and "C" in 261.6Hz as it seems and the later being a discontinued model.

As it seems, the tuning fork is a dying product being more and more substituted by electronic tuning devices.
