Cool! Well, if it was coincidence, you beat the odds, as you had a 1:12 chance of getting it right on the first try. ![[grin]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie5.gif) Anyway, at the very least you have good pitch retention! But who knows, maybe you do have some form of perfect pitch. Time will tell. In any event, it would be interesting to see if, at some time in the future when you repeat the exercise, and you hit the wrong chord, just how far off you are. In any event, I think it's great that you could do that today. Very cool!
And I can see the headlines now:
Cyber Clarinetist Claims Perusing Posts Precipitates Perfect Pitch
by A. Flat
Perth, Australia, a woodwind player and member of an online clarinetist's forum made the astonishing claim today that the strange ability to name pitches out of thin air (known in the music world as "perfect pitch") can be learned simply by participating in a forum thread in which the topic is being discussed. As explained by the clarinetist Ned, who was only willing to give his first name to reporters, "I don't recall this ever happening to me before." As a result of Ned's claim, a buzz has begun in the musicologist community, with calls to study Ned's new-found ability day and night for the next forty years. Tests include being woken up in the middle of the night and being asked to sing any note requested of him. Sources say his accuracy will be rewarded with occasional visits by family members, though Ned is already said to be demanding at least a change of sheets and a new box of Vandoren 3.5's every two weeks.
