Doing unisons aurally is really the only way to go.  Every once in awhile I
have to tune them with the SAT but that's only when it is just plain too
noisy to hear anything anyway.

Perhaps ... ... I know for myself that I aim for the *sweet spot* in tuning
unisons.  I haven't tried measuring the differences between strings when I
do hit the *sweet spot* -- I just know when I've hit it because the piano
just sounds so much better.  Then the challenge is to keep it there.
