Exclusively featuring StopperStimmung™ (1988), a slightly stretched tuning creating an amazing and clear sound on your instrument by the tunings stunning structural symmetry. The temperament compromise is strongly lessened by symmetrically interfering harmonics making chords to appear as beeing pure tuned.

Pluck the string to be tuned about one time per second, while muting the other strings. To handle the fine tuning indicator on this extreme precision level, measure the pitch by very small or no string tension changes. This requires some experience even for professionals but is honoured by an uncomparable sound experience.
Always tune your instrument in 2-3 cycles, as every change of one string affects the other strings. Tune your instrument often to achieve a good tuning stability. Pluck the string with a plectrum to produce an overtone rich sound with the microphone close to the instrument.
For sound examples, listen to the dobro guitar played by Thomas Maos on the album "Larger Than Life" (Silent Art Orchestra), entirely tuned with the Tunic software:
