That will drive you INSANE. Believe me it will be MUCH easier in the long run to learn how to tune a temperament. Its not that hard with some good instruction and practice - anyone with healthy ears and average intelligence can do this. 


You're much better off going with cheap laptop and the shareware version of Tunelab than using a set of forks. And it will be cheaper!

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! 


By the way, anyone seen THIS: http://www.mastertuners.com/ ?? Nice looking website, but the claims are RIDICULOUS. This gave me a few laughs although my eyes were aching from being rolled up in my head for so long!!
