Tuning with a fork and the Sanderson Baldassin procedure.

You don't need to count beats or make any calculations, although I did 
find it useful, at first, to tune a couple of contiguous thirds - for 
example, G2 - B2 and B2 - D#3 which have an approx. 4 beats to 5 beats 
ratio - to learn what this relationship should sound like.

What makes this method work so well is that you can run a series of 
three contiguous thirds and easily decide if the middle one sounds more 
like the lower beat rate or the upper beat rate and adjust accordingly.
