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? Julia Reading, PA **************Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make dinner for $10 or less.
