Tuning from scratch

[David Ilvedson]

"Quickest way to get the strings on pitch"????   Do you mean roughly tuned, i.e. pitch raised????   If the piano is 1/2 step flat you could just tune each string to the string above...

Hi all.  Quick question from a new tuning student.  If you come across a piano that is totally out of whack (or a piano that you've restrung), and you don't have an electronic tuner (heaven forbid!), what's the quickest way to get the strings on pitch?  Being a music teacher, I can figure it out but it takes a really long time.  Any tricks of the trade?


Thanks!
