Barbara, Ed: Whether I join 2 as per tricords or 3 depends on if they are all three mismatched. If they are all 3 problematic, I join them all and usually start tuning with the middle string and then tune outside strings. It really is a bit of a back and forth affair with all 3 coupled. Between my RCT and ear I settle on the least offensive place. It's not very different than tuning any other problem area.
