Abstract
A tuning-fork vibratory gyro has first and second arms and a base integrally connected to the first and second arms. The gyro includes drive electrodes used to generate tuning-fork vibrations due to a piezoelectric transversal effect, and detection electrodes provided on the first and second arms and used to output a detection voltage due to an angular velocity.
