John, 
This is the way I tuned it. I could hear slight diff between the third and
the tenth. This indicates the A4 is slightly sharp. 
Now if two strings on A4 would make it flat from just one string, the
slight difference between the third and tenth should disappear. 


Did you try a blind test?  I can't at the moment as there is not another
technician close by.  I hope with in two weeks.  Thinking of some 
interesting tests for two or more people.   ---ric
