Here's what I do and how I do it...
Strip mute entire piano-
A4 from pitch source, A3 from A4, F3 ballpark to both A3&A4
A2 from A3 for fun, rough in C#3, check contiguous 3rds ala Coleman
D4 from A3, focus F3 in, grab Bflat3, check w/D4
E4 from A3
G3 from D4
C4 from G3,F3,E4
F4 from F3, check w/C4,Bflat3
B3 from E4, F#3 from B3, check w/major 3rds (F-A, F#-A#, G-B)
E3 from E4, C3 from C4
C#4 from F#3, check all related 3rds and 6ths
G#3 from C#4, check all related 3rds and 6ths
D#4 from G#3, check all related 3rds and 6ths
Chromatic 3rds,6ths,10ths through whole mid section
 
Customer offers coffee...thankyou, cookies? sure why not...

Octave going up, chromatic 10ths, and octave-10ths as far as I can hear
on this piano.
Singe, double, triple octaves all the way up.
Bass octaves listening to chromatic 3rds,6ths,10ths  
Unisons from bass up to treble
