> Young children can acquire absolute (perfect) pitch — but adults cannot. The window closes around age 6.

It’s not “real” perfect pitch. It’s more like training and memorizing. It doesn’t come as naturally as it does for kids. | ||

You will probably claim it's not "real" perfect pitch, but many people use their tinnitus to help them. They identified their ring as having, for example, F#, and suddenly their relative pitch became absolute. | ||
