So, when you set one string of the unison correctly, you disturb that setting when attempting to tune the other strings. If this is the case, you have a real challenge on your hands. It's not impossible, but it can be done. Though I don't know the following first hand, I would suspect it is even a more difficult process if you are an aural tuner only. Keith A.
