Answers for the Pop Quiz for the lesson on creating the sound of fear with Ben Boldt's instrument packages. Pop Quiz Requiescat has answered the pop quiz. In the Ben Boldt packages, I think the most scary instrument is the Boldt violin (although with the right tones the Boldt sitar can be pretty creepy, too). And the most scary pitch is A-flat, a major third below middle C (the second-lowest note on a normally tuned violin, on the G-string). - 16 June 2007 - 4 points
