[pianotech] Perfect Pitch (revisited)

[Piano Boutique]

Ed,

What comes to mind is when earlier on this list, they posed the question:  (what about when A was 435?)

Just a thought.

    Anyway, I just said all that to reiterate the fact that there is no such thing as perfect pitch.  Relative pitch, yes.  Pitch memory, yes.  But perfect pitch, no.
  How close does it have to be to be called "perfect"?   I ask because I once encountered a student oboe player that could hear the pitch of A as flat when it was, (according to my SAT), 1.5 cents flat.  This is close enough to "perfect" for me...
