Greetings,
How can anyone have perfect pitch?
Yesterday, I tuned for a retired piano tuner, who had tuned his piano
about 3 months ago. (I dont know why he hired me) He says he has perfect
pitch. Lo and behold, when I examined his work, although 3 months a "worn"
tuning, it was pretty much "dead on".
Question: Now, if a person "au moderne" (nowdays) says they have
perfect pitch, were/are humans' ears built differently than say, in Beethoven's
day, where those living at that time who claimed that they had perfect pitch???
I dont get it. Does the human ear get used to what temperaments are in
vogue at the time?
