Tuning Marimba Bars: Can anyone let me know what instrument can be used to tune the bars.

I understnd from the research study by Greg Merril that the marimba, has its most significant overtone two octaves above the fundamental, at the fourth mode of and it is important to ensure that this overtone sounds at the appropriate frequency, or the marimba's characteristic timbre may be lost.
