 I use
 C up to E
 C down to G check G with E
 G up to D
 Tune A to D and    check with E (and with a fork if you wish)
 Tune B to E and    check B with G
 Tune F# to B and    check F# with D and G
 Tune C# to F# check C# with A
 Tune G# to C# and check G# with C
 Tune D#  to G#  check D# with B
 Tune A# to D# and check A# with D
 Tune F to A# and check F with C and C# and with G#

 I then tune F# below as my first octave, I have been using this scale 
 since 1976 why change if it works for you.

 I have a Sanderson Accu-fork but I only use it for 100 cent pitches or 
 if I am tuning to "B"  I prefer the sound and taste of Johnny Walker.

 Barrie,
