Can anyone confirm that the detuning, especially in the bass is plus and minus 25c for the lower bass notes? This seems to be a little extreme to me, but that is where RCT places the detuning. Also, does anyone have the scoring sheet, and could email it to me? Thanks Terry Beckingham PTG Associate ( hoping to be RPT by fall) Terry The scoring in the bass allows for a 25 cent tolerance. That is not her same as the amount the strings are detuned prior to the exam tuning. If you would have a RCT with the tuning exam program, you would see that the tuning is done in a systematic manner. Basically it untunes the middle section by about 2 cents, and the treble and bass by about 5 - 10 cents. Personally, however, I wouldn't worry about the amount of detuning. Just knock the piano out of tune a little, (no more than 10 cents), and just tune it again. None of the exam material, including the scoring sheets, etc., are available on line. If you want to see one, contact you CTE. Wim Blees RPT, CTE ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
