Good point. Rick's video also demonstrates that while his son has perfect pitch, he is not done studying as a singer. Scores very high on cuteness, and sings a lot better than my kids though ;-) I would guess that there are lots of people who have perfect pitch, who don't become full-time or even accomplished musicians because they have other interests and never get round to mastering an instrument.

@MJLeger-yj1ww To make good instruments, they need to have the right 'coloration', 'timbre' etc (resonances) at the right frequencies. It would definitely be beneficial for them to have perfect pitch. It is not just the strings that need tuning, the whole instrument is tuned, by the luthier as he/she constructs it, whitling away slivers of wood at just the right places...
