Certain musicians like composer Pierre Boulez can recognize sound frequencies with an astonishing accurateness, other people goes only with a fairly rough ideas of the pitch. And they all claim having perfect pitch. If we are to put them all in the same bag, we should refrain from putting forward any straight conclusions about it. BTW, my RCT is on its way toward my mailbox. I am really looking forward to see how this perfect pitch is like! Michel Lachance, RPT
