I think Joe, the bellicos= e, thought I was saying anyone could pass the test with a SAT at 100%, = which of course I never said. David I.

I've disagreed with it before and tried re-= tuning aurally only to discover that it had made the best compromise av= ailable from the beast in front of me. It works with the partials of e= ach note it tunes as opposed to using only the partials of three sample= d notes from the piano. You can choose the degree of stretch you want = to use. The tolerances in the portion you can use your ETD on are quite generou= s. The aural section is tight, but you can't use your ETD there anyway= and that is the mental muscle you have to develop. The Verituners mea= sured tuning and detune functions are quite useful to practice doing te= mperaments with. While I'm no CTE, I have checked it out at my leisure and have been qui= te satisfied with what it does.

David , Then Michael is on Drugs, IMO. The simple fact remains, that the Test Instrument is tuned Aurally, by = at least Three tuners, one of which must be a CTE. Since the piano is t= uned Aurally, there is no way in hell, the SAT will reproduce this! I'm= sure if you check with Paul Brown, he'll tell you that exams, of recor= d, do not bear out this B.S.!
