<<Sooooooooooo!! Those with PP, in fact have the abilty to recognize differences in bands of pitch. The note"A" has a band which starts somewhere after G#, and before A#. How many cents flat must an "A" be before it is no longer an "A", I don't know.??? Interesting subject, for people who work with sound all the time. Carl (Teplitski)>> I would say somewhere between, say, 30 and 80 cents -- just picking rough numbers here. 100 cents flat or sharp of course would be the next tone, or next note in the scale. I have several recordings where the tunings for a certain numbers are a quarter-step flat or sharp of our standard today. Usually these are old-timey recordings originally on 78rpm records, sometimes in major studios like RCA, but sometimes on small labels, recorded maybe in a hotel room with a portable machine, where the artist may or may not have had any reference to tune to. --Dave Nereson, RPT
