exactly who I was hoping for*, then me and all the street can go outside and twist again, like we did last summer!
*I am very aware of the impossibility of this,
Doing it yourself - if you can stand the hassle of undoing all your errors ... what @BahHumbug said about the cycle of 5ths plus the "5th"s are equally tempered so have to be slightly flat - listen for a beat frequency of about 4Hz and then you'll be about right.
Or you could use a good quality electronic tuner like the Yamaha job. My piano tuner chap doesn't like electronic tuners but I got him to humour me and allow it to be sat on the piano while he tuned it. He was quite impressed, as the tuner agreed with him! I don't think all electronic tuners are good enough to do that with though.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

I've sometimes wondered if you can do this with a chromatic guitar tuner ?
My mother (who had a wonderful natural 'ear') taught herself to tune pianos armed with a tuning fork and a tuning key.

@Teetonetal Ha! Reminds me of the bookcases with classics people buy to give the impression that they are well-read.... Except the books never show any sign of wear....
We got our Joanna for nowt from a church clearing out its storage facility. It's a cheap, mass-produced East German one, with a dampener for making it quieter for playing in shitty GDR prefabs. The lever for activating the dampener has always reminded me of the choke on a Trabant! Accordingly, the thing is never in tune, even after we've had a man in. But @DLM's_Girl still prefers it over an electric, which reminds me of Scott Henderson's use of the traditional Strat bridge over more modern alternatives. He says he needs good tone more than to be in tune.
