Which you can establish by having a non-musical person (commonly HR person in tech) have an independent screening 1st phase interview.

In theory, such a person should be better suited to such evaluation too: it's not uncommon to have psychology majors in HR departments, for instance.

And finally, once you find someone is detrimenal to the team (the orchestra), you can still fire them (I know it might be harder).

If you have a non musical person doing a first - non-blind - screening, than the outcome of the all process becomes non-blind anyway.
