Yes, you are right.  The SAT figure for C4 was 2.2 but read on the 6th 
octave.  The exam program reads on the 5th octave.  There are reasons for 
both but I actually prefer the Exam program partial selection.  In order to 
"score" my temperament, I needed to estimate the value that the note C4 would 
have had being read on octave 5 but for your purposes. the 2.2 figure read on 
octave 6 is probably what you need.

The Bosey figures did come out a little differently than other pianos 
although I was very satisfied with the results aurally.  The customer wrote 
back again.  Here is what she had to say:

<<One of my "ultra-professional" musician friends heard the Bosey Sunday, and 
was rather stunned at the changes. And impressed; he liked them very much. 
(Not that it matters who is impressed or not; the piano is here to please me 
and my family.)
My confidence in you was based on my intuition; I operate heavily on it.
Yes, I read much of your website and related articles.  In addition to the 
technical information, I was WELL entertained by the humor. Madison's culture 
of disagreement on just about everything always interests me, and you put it 
in its place!

There goes that word, "Stun" again as used to describe the effect of a 
tuning.  I like it.  So, now it appears that not only the Verituner can 
produce a "stunning" tuning, so can a SATII assisted aural tuning using the 
Direct Interval mode.

I will be doing a recording session in a new studio here in Madison next week 
for a local avant-garde composer who is using two pianos.  Also, a customer 
of mine will be doing a recording in his home in March on his Kawai KG-5C 
using the same recording engineer.  So, I will have a couple of CD's soon 
from which I should be able to put samples of the EBVT on my website.  Up to 
now, all I have are analog recordings on cassette which are far too warbly to 
be suitable.
