Hi, I generally start with C to E as the first interval tuned (C4 - E4), I then tune down to the G, (G3) then as covered in another post the C - E is slightly faster than the 6th G - E. Apart from this initial 3rd preference I tune the rest of the scale in 4ths & 5ths, checking with similar 3rd & 6th checks. To add in something from Barries post "When you finished the scale the sixths should go faster up the scale there are only 3 in the scale." - True, but the 6th dont end there, they keep on progressing from there - faster above, slower below - as do thirds, its just that is comes a point where they are not too clear and other checks are used, as you would now be into doing octaves with 3rd & 10th checks.
