Pick the A you'd most trust to represent the average pitch level of the
piano. Raise the center string to A440. Copy the beat rate between the
fundamentals of the center string a companion string on that note, and
duplicate it at the 3d partial level by pulling that second strings through
and beyond unison with the string set to the pitch reference. Tune the
center string to this second string.

An easy way to calculate the 1/3 lead I use in my rough tunings. It always
surprises me how close a rough tuning can be.

Richard, if you were born without knobs, it's nothing to be ashamed of. We
all are. (If the finance company came and took them away, that's another
matter.)   %~}
