Most people that I know to have "perfect pitch" were born with it and did not develop it. One orchestral clarinetist with perfect pitch told me that she has spent her entire life transposing to compensate for the written/sounding differences. Many other "legit" players also consider PP a liability, especially those that play transposing instruments--horn, trumpet, sax, etc. The only players that liked their PP were the jazzers--those that play a lot "by ear". Also, arrangers and composers who can pretty much write down what they hear in their minds or in their environment. Me, I'm glad I do not have the PP curse and am quite happy with a good case of relative pitch.
