What piano was this?
What is the criterion to "score perfectly in the bass"?   I assume this
means it must "sound right."  Your scoring of a perfect "exam" is
interesting not so much on who scored it but what piano it was scored on.  I
am wondering if you know of pianos that can't get a perfect score. If not I
would like to submit two or three that I have never gotten to sound right in
the bass.  These are grands with quality names like McPhail, or Conover
Cable,  5'4 or larger.   ---ric
