Hi Robert,

This is not a simple question to answer. The usual questions need to be
asked first.

1. How flat is the piano?

2. Is it "evenly" flat?

The answers to those two questions will influence how to best use your
choice of tuning assistant. Beyond a very small cents change the ability to
overcompensate for anticipated pitch correction will give the A0 to C8
tuning style the edge. If, on the other hand, this is your third pass on a
concert instrument then "pretend" you don't have the "box" and use it as an
additional set of ears.

One "right" answer is "unisons as you go". This does promote better
stability, even for totally aural tuning.
