I cannot imagine an ETD giving exactly the same
> tuning as an aural one. 

Les,

Maybe not "exactly the same", but certainly well within the exam tolerances.  My tuning exam score, on the section where I used RCT, was 99%.  One point off, on one note in octave 1, due to bad judgement on my part (tried something new, which I did not fully understand how to do, based on hearsay info about what sounds best on that particular make of piano).  I would guess that ETD tuners generally score pretty well on the exam.  Examiners, care to chime in here?

thanks
