tough enough

[Phil Bondi]

I for one think the tuning exam is way fair. The 
first thing that had to be accomplished, if my 
history recollection is correct, is to have the 
test instrument be in agreement with 3 
techs..hell, that's hard enough as it is!!

For anyone reading this with some trepidation 
about taking this test: take it. I have offered 
my services for free to more than a few 
trepidators out there..you know who you are. I'm 
not saying that I have the 'magic kool-aide' 
formula for passing the exam, but I am confident 
that I can put your mind at ease with it.

..and for the record, recent RPT Geoff Sykes 
said the following:

> I think few of us could listen to
>> a tuning that is the result of an 80% passing grade and find it acceptable.

I could not agree more..and he also said:

> Most of my customers will probably never be able to tell the
>> difference between a very good tuning and an acceptable one, nor probably
>> care, but I do. 

Amen.
