Btw, for such purposes I allways have a sequence playing (usually using a
piano sound), some |F/D|G/D| pattern for the white keys and the same a
halftone up for the black keys. Works pretty well - especially when dealing
with stringed instruments where intonation often isn't that clear (due to
possible vibratos, slurs, slides, whatever) - in a more musical context
you'll notice inconsistencies easier, even when dealing with vibrato and the
likes.
Not exactly the "piano tuner 101", but sufficient in most cases.
