That's "relative", NOT perfect pitch.

I find it very interesting first, that they never say a note is sharp. They dont compare it to anything. I was told once that perfect pitch was the ability to name a note when several are played without looking. tell you what triad etc etc....However being able to determine a notes flatness or sharpness within 15% would be good....are we talking about randomly slecting any note on a piano, and make this determination. I would be impressed...but I have my doubts this is what we are talking about. Richard, Canada _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?
