My bar placement isn't accurate enough to do this reliably. I find it
much more accurate to tune one string to a reference and then the
others to that string - directly or indirectly - by ear in open G or
D.
For reference, a tuning fork is nice, or perhaps even the guitar
player if I'm playing along with one. But most of the time I use a
Strobo-Flip.
