Perhaps you could use 8 short lengths of tubing
that will slip over the tuning pins. The first thing you could do is
mark the location of all the A's with a piece of tubing. Then you
wouldn't have to go all the way to one of the breaks to count back to
your position if you get lost.

Marshall,
There is a better way, that is time tested. I use it for chipping up a newly strung piano, before the action is ready. Put front rail punchings on all of the "A's". You can still get your tuning hammer on the pin, unlike the tubing idea.<G> This is also a good thing for Square Grands when the note lettering is gone/erased/covered in crud.<G> This is a technique used by the olde time "blind" tuners.
