Ton

The Ton is an absolute scale from 1-10 where 1 is the objective, absolute lowest quality representation of the item or work under critique and 10 is the objective, absolute highest quality representation of the item or work under critique. Therefore, a 5 represents the objective, absolute average quality representation of the item or work under critique. Only alumni, past and present, of the “Tonmeister” course are qualified under legislation to assess an item or work using the Ton unit of measurement.
