Setting pitch with a fork for exam

One thing to keep in mind here is that the original post had to do with setting pitch to exam standards.  As an examiner I have seen too many decent tunings failed because the pitch was too far outside tolerance. The point multiplier for setting pitch is huge. If you are outside 2 cents you blow it. That's about 1/2 a beat.

This may seem fairly generous, but it also assumes that the fork is calibrated. It's amazing how many people don't bother to calibrate their forks before the exam. I have seen people fail pitch who would have passed if their fork had been properly calibrated.
