Larry S. - Phase 3 - 6/8 March - (4 Parts)

Hey Larry! Thanks for your submission. You did well here except the drone reed was still in the drone. You want to take the reed out of the drone hooked up to the manometer. You sounded steady but I want to be sure for next week. I'll show this to Carl in case he wants to make an exception but that is part of the rules. I think you'll have it next week. Keep up the good work!

Phase 3 Result: 6/7 Requirements Achieved

Overall Basic Instrument Operation Comments from Andy:
Well done Larry. One issue is that the drone reed should be taken out of the drone seat when hooked up to the manometer (the one that is plugged in to the manometer). It can give a bit of a false reading if the drone reed is still in. I only really noticed it because you took your manometer off the drone and then struck in and tuned the middle tenor. I think you'll pass next week but I'd like to see you do it again with the drone reed out of the middle tenor.
