Hi Jon,
Do you mean +/- 6 cents?
You couldn't go +/- 6 Hz, up and down. Or are you just meaning C3 and up?

This should be fairly easy with an ETD. Tune all middle strings at
pitch.
Then set the ETD to +6 Hz and tune all right strings, set to -6 Hz and
tune all left strings, or vise versa.

Or so it seems to me.
