Bill, I think Randy was saying that he had trouble tuning by
ear. Your advice is good though - I think i mentioned that in my
post about a week or so ago as well, that you need to tune to a
reliable reference - the A from a tuning fork or metronome, or a
tuner that produces audible tones, or a keyboard or
synthesizer. Either way Randy, you need to work on your ear -
that's the only way we can do it.

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.
