Tune the piano's A440 to the fork. You don't have to tune it perfectly at first. As long as you know what side of "smooth" you're on, you can tune A440 so that there is a comfortable beat-rate when played with the fork. Then tune the piano's A220 to the piano's A440. Make the beat rate for A220 the same as when you play A440 against the fork. If you made A440 sharp, tune A220 "outside of smooth". If you made A440 flat, tune A220 "inside of smooth". A220 will be in tune. Alternative: Tune one wire of A3 with the fork, as described above (but tune it near the correct frequency). Then tune the other wires of A3 to the first one, using the same "beat" idea. Finish by pulling the first wire to unison.
