[pianotech] Tune with a set tuning fork

Many, many years back there was a piano tuner in the Portland (Oregon) area
who did this. I never actually met him but was told about his tuning
procedure from some of his former customers. His tunings were nothing to
write about-well, actually, they must have been since I'm writing about them
here-and I never did encounter one of his temperaments I thought was much
good. Could just have been the skill of the tuner but I never did see how
one could get much accuracy that way. It's one thing to set one string
accurately to a fork; quite another to set thirteen of them.
