What we calibrate for violists

  • Alto-register tone calibration

    C-string warmth, bow distribution on long lines, vibrato shape on the upper string — the Judge flags the things violists actually get cut on.

  • Excerpt-aware feedback

    Bartok, Walton, the Telemann — known viola audition repertoire is in the Judge's training set. Bar-specific notes name the actual measure.

  • Cross-instrument honesty

    Most AI tools were trained mostly on violin recordings. Ours treats viola as a distinct instrument with its own rubric, not a violin one fifth lower.
