[pianotech] CTE's - what are you thoughts? (continuation of Re:Old can of worms)

[Bill Fritz]

David, I'm hoping you can answer my question, which follows from one of your emails (below)...

I've heard that if I use a precise 4:2 match for the midsection, a 2:1 for the treble, and a 6:3 for the bass, I'd pass the test w/ flying colors.

Have I understood this "hint" correctly?   Thanks...   Bill Fritz (Hoping to soon take the Tuning exam)

Actually, your wrong, yes it is scored with aural criteria, are the 
ntervals"pleasing" aurally, 
r do they offend. 
Here is how it works.
The scoring computer program "earmarks" notes outside parameters, That may of 
ay not become Deductions.  Only one of the 3 examiners know what the computer 
coring program says. The other 2 people on the examination team do not have a 
lue what the computer scoring program says.  The one examiner that knows where 
he earmarked notes are will request particular notes at his discretion to be 
urally checked. The others do not know if it is a good note, bad note, flat or 
harp, no clue. They check the note carefully with purely aural checks. 
hey must determine on their own if it is flat, sharp, or good. The candidate 
an defend where he put the note. The other two examiners must agree it is flat, 
r that it is sharp, and agree with the computer program correctly or the 
eduction is thrown out. 
       So notes that are outside parameters, but are "pleasing" , balancing 
ntervals well, can and are often thrown out. Bad notes are verified aurally in 
 blind test. Pleasing notes can brown out, and not become deductions.
      Smart test. Good exercise.
     Bad notes are proven in this blind aural testing for "pleasing balanced 
ntervals"
