"perfect pitch"

[David Love]

My experience with those with perfect pitch is that it is not that accurate.
I recently tuned for a violinist with PP and she complained that her piano
was too sharp.  She liked it a A442 but felt it was sharper than that, "must
be A445 at least" she said.  In fact the piano was exactly at A440
(electronic pitch measuring source).  Anecdotal evidence, but in keeping
with other queries I have made.  Will be interesting to hear what those with
"the gift" have to say.
