Abstract

A vibratory gyro includes a tuning-fork vibrator having a piezoelectric member, and a supporting member supporting the tuning-fork vibrator. The tuning-fork vibrator has a driving-side vibration and a detection-side vibration. The turning-fork vibrator resonates in the driving-side vibration, and the turning-fork vibrator and the supporting member resonate as a whole in the detection-side vibration.
