Tines and prongs occur in nature-for example, forming the branched bony antlers of deer or the forked horns of pronghorn antelopes. ![]() The term is also used on musical instruments such as the Jew's harp, tuning fork, guitaret, electric piano, music box or mbira which contain long protruding metal spikes ("tines") which are plucked to produce notes. ![]() The terms tine and prong are mostly interchangeable. Tines may be blunt, such as those on a fork used as an eating utensil or sharp, as on a pitchfork or even barbed, as on a trident. The number of tines on tools varies widely – a pitchfork may have just two, a garden fork may have four, and a rake or harrow many. They may be made of metal, wood, bone or other hard, strong materials. They are used to spear, hook, move or otherwise act on other objects. Tines ( / ˈ t aɪ n z/ also spelled tynes), prongs or teeth are parallel or branching spikes forming parts of a tool or natural object.
