Tuning with sound trains your ear, and therefore trains your musical abilities.
Get a tuner that plays sounds, and tune unisons (or other intervals,
if you wish).
When your ear is trained, you will then know for sure if the lute is
in tune; no box required :)

The Turbo tuner works very well for me, when the lute is
already quite well tuned.
I have preset the open strings, so I go into open tuning, and I set
it to the auto mod.

There is a you tube film of how to use this, explaining the

found with the original:

Double sided sticky tape is also great for holding down wooden tastini
(even permanent tastini or on the body frets). I normally use little
