Hello Randy,

        Some metrinomes have a feature that produces a pure A 440.  (Other
metrinomes, fancy ones, can produce all twelve chromatic notes, but these
are more expensive.)  You could use this to tune your A string (two
octaves lower,) and then tune the other strings in relationship to that
A.  This still doesn't tell you if your A is sharp or flat with respect
to the A from the metrinome, but it gives you a starting place without
needing a piano or synthesizer nearby to compare to.

        Does this help at all or am I missing the point of your question?

Bill S.
