    That might be an alternative.  We need to quit the nonsense of aural V ETD testing. I'm really tired of the which is better!  The general public doesnt care, nor can notice the 1 or two cent variations in pitch from here to there.  I grow very weary of this argument on which is better. Some people like a stretched out octave in the high end, (Itzack Pearlman for example), some only care for exact unisons (George Winston).   I tune aurally and have done so since studying with Steve Brady nearly 30 years ago and don't plan on changing.

     

    So what:  RPT-A (for aurally) and RPT-E (for EDT assisted)? Why not just ignore any differentiation and if you pass the test, then so be it? We can design  a test for either. Why is this not possible?

     

    My 1 cent flat or sharp!

    Paul
