My tuning fork and metronome arrive this weekend.  The metronome is no issue for me, as I have used them before when playing the piano.  So now I have one again and can use it to help with my timing when playing music and scales on my saxophone.  The tuning fork however is another story.  This is going to take some practice.  I strike the tuning fork on an object and the fork begins to vibrate.  It’s not terribly loud so I then put it close to my ear and listen to the tone it is making.  I do this a few times and try and remember the sound I just heard.   I then play G on my Saxaophone, which I recall hearing somewhere is the tuning note.  If I’m wrong then maybe someone would be kind enough to tell me otherwise.

In any case I “think” it sounds right.  The note I play on the saxophone sounds pretty much the same as the tuning fork.  I don’t think it sounds any sharper or flater.  When I can have a saxophone teacher again I’ll be able to confirm all of this of course, until then I’ll just have to listen very carefully and take it slow.
