Tuning Exam

[Elwood Doss, Jr.]

I took my tuning exam at the Chicago Convention and passed it.  I know the committee checked the tuning with an EDT, than all of us discussed any notes that were off.  On 2 or 3 of them the committee decided my tuning was more  correct than what the EDT said.  To me that is an aural check of the EDT verdict of the tuning itself.

I'm happy to have this part over with--now on to the Technical exam!

Joy!
