>> 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!
