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.
