I gotta get one of those tuners! What I do on my clarsach is tune with the 
aid of a tuner (it saves time) and then I play a couple of pieces and adjust 
some of the intervals, until it sounds right. So I can't really say which 
tuning system I'm using. I'd love to find out if I am getting close to an 
established system.

I don't do pure Pythagorean because I like to have sweet sounding 6ths.
