Well, expiriment will tell, but my guess is that a strict FAC tuning on =
a winter spinet will not pass the PTG exam - especially in the low tenor =
and bass.

  Read my post..."good piano" ...but if 3 tuners were to aurally Master =
Tune that Winter....hee, hee, hee...the SAT could duplicate it within =
the test periameters.
  Again...you can't pass the PTG test without tuning a 2 octave section =
aurally, which is why we don't have ETDs hanging a shingle out...;-]

  Always? NO WAY! On a good piano? Probably. On a large, well-scaled =
piano? Sure.

  If you can tune a Winter spinet with an FAC tuning and pass the tuning =
exam, then the tuning exam tolerances need to be tightened!

    I would find it hard to believe that a FAC tuning on a good piano =
wouldn't pass the PTG test with flying colors...but I will check with =
some tuning examiners...I'm sure we have some on the List...am I as =
preposterous as Joe says?

    David,
    Where, pray tell, did you glean that Preposterous Idea! Not even! =
Check with Tuning Examiners, before you make such a wild claim! =
