<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">It's well-known that people with perfect pitch experience an
<DIV>upward pitch-shift with age. Typically, by around 55 years of age</DIV>
<DIV>a C sounds like a C#, and by 65 a C tends to sound like a D.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I wonder if this is a universal experience or whether there are</DIV>
<DIV>people with perfect pitch -- older than 60 -- who have NOT experienced</DIV>
<DIV>an upward pitch shift.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'd appreciate people writing to me to convey their experiences regarding</DIV>
<DIV>age and AP. I'll post a summary if I receive enough responses.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
