I envy the boy's perfect pitch, but dread it, also. I hope he knows how to 'diplomatically' tell other players that they are not on pitch. It's a big urge to overcome. I played in high school with a perfect pitch owner and he nearly drove me nuts (he could hear the difference of pitch within 5 cents!). One time (you'll like this, if you play or know about pipe organs), the trombones were all just a little, tiny bit out of tune. He called that the "Trombone Celeste."
