I'm also curious about the use of the d minor chord while tuning strings.
What's even more interesting is that a cello teacher once told me to play a d
major chord if the player is flat, and a d minor chord if the player is sharp.
I think it may have to do with the particular way in which the piano is tuned,
but I'm not sure.
