Subject: RE: Perfect pitch may sometimes not be
And I can follow you when YOU lead off in silly keys!
But I can see that "perfect" pitch must be a terrible handicap if you are playing or singing with instruments that cannot (readily) be re-tuned, like a piano.
Do people with perfect pitch think or hear in equal temperament, or one of the other temperaments more appropriate to music from earlier times? And do they hear ET as "out of tune" in the way that string players and singers do?
