 so I called a local tuner I had met at the local Yamaha dealer at the time and
 paid him to come out and just tune the temperament and explain what he was
 listening to. He used the John Travis method "up 2 3ds and down a 5th". Then
 he de-tuned what he had done and let me try. I
heard clearly now the beat speeds and he encouraged me greatly, and from that
 point on I had no trouble honing this skill. >>

By a most fortunate twist of fate, this is what most likely saved you from the
 scourge of «Reverse Well».  It also tells me that you could easily pass the
 RPT tuning Exams.  The other skills and experience you have also tell me that
 you could easily pass the written and Technical portions.  You could get all
 of this accomplished by July 12 if you only made the decision to do so.
 Consider yourself "pre-screened".

  June 11 is the deadline for early Registration (lower fees).  If you join
 PTG at that time, you will pay member rates and a pro-rated annual dues.  Find
 someone to share a room with at the Holiday Inn.  You won't do anything but
 fall asleep there after a very long day anyway.
