If not, the chord names will be on the bars, e.g. Cmaj, Bbmin, G7... Tune the pianner guud, match an octave note for note and go out from there. (trying to tune a temperament on it directly is chasing a moving target) There probably also will be a "short" octave at the bottom (not all notes, just some chord roots) Beware of broken strings, strings which may not either be on the right pin or wound the right way on the pin.
