As mentioned in the squib from Princeton about the study, by the way, the musicians are told not to wear shoes so that the judges couldn't tell women by the sound of high heels. The study attributes about 30% of the increase in women in orchestras to the avoided bias. Some orchestras use the screens only in preliminary rounds (it may well matter for instance if a concertmaster or section leader has a nervous tic or sways around like a banshee!) http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/01/0212/7b.shtml I’ve got to comment when you bring up orchestral musicians!
