I minimise the effects of cabinet drop by using a wound sixth string, as previously stated, and also by tuning with pedals A and B pressed.

With the pedals pressed, tune every string up to pitch, then listen carefully to the 4th string when the pedals are released.

It will rise in pitch slightly.

Don't alter the pitch of this string, use it as a reference point to re-tune the open pitches of the other strings.
