Here is an example of a “do it yourself DIY” approach that is completely out of line.
This gentleman does not take into account the physics of the piano structure when starting to tune from the treble notes which are the shortest strings.

While I'm working on my complete MultiMedia piano tuning tutorials with eBooks, audios and videos, you can get this "out of print" book that I have re-vamped to 2011 standards.
You can get it for only $7 and it will give you a good starting point.
I have improved the graphics with image processing softwares and added some of my own illustrations.
I have completely re-format this book for better legibility.
