[pianotech] Tune with a set tuning fork

Many years back a customer gave me a tape cassette he had received as part
of a DIY "piano tuning" course. On it were recordings of every note played
on a rather poorly tuned piano-sounded like it was coming from an old
upright-and all the student needed to do was tune every string in the piano
to match these tones. I think he got it from an ad in an old Mechanics
Illustrated or Popular Science magazine.

One of the funniest methods for tuning that I ever heard was a system that
was sold many years ago that consisted of a portable record player with a
record that had every pitch on it. You just simply matched the piano to the
record!
