I've always thought that perfect pitch is more of a curse than a blessing.
Almost every piano and guitar I have ever played has been out of tune
somewhere, and I only have good relative pitch.

Yes it is a curse in many respects.
I'm a jazz pianist myself and it drives me nuts when I play on piano's
that are out of tune. I did one gig where the piano was a 1/2 step low and
it totally screwed up my pitch mechanism.

What happens if you play a synthesizer and transpose the pitch
electronically - where your hands know you're playing in C, but your ears
tell you it's Eb? I'd think your head would explode

I'm not sure that one needs to have so called *perfect pitch* to have pitch
problems with equal temperament tuning.

I can handle equal temperament on a well tuned acoustic piano quite well
(electric ones never sound right to me anyway)... But when it comes to the
acoustic guitar, I always have a problem between the keys of A or E say;
followed by say key of C or G without a little fine adjustment.

I'm a fine tuning tweaker - I just can't help it. A guitar is roughly in
tune for me when A = 440 but in addition, some of the major open chords
sound OK in quick succession - like E, G, A, C and D

Music theory is a complex area and one I do not fully understand. A very
knowledgeable woman fiddler tried explaining it to me at great length one
time, but after 10 minutes I glazed over and after 15 minutes my brain was
hurting and I was starting to lose the will to live.

A friend here in Buxton decided to conduct his own research into equal
temperament tuning (to satisfy himself) and to understand: how and why the
intervals and structure of western music developed: and whether it was the
best compromise at the time; and whether it could be improved at all.

His findings seemed to suggest that the best compromise was reached by
experimentation several centuries ago. Conditioning over those centuries
precludes change anyway I would have thought.

All pianos are out of tune by design (at least when tuned the 'modern' way).
Took me ages to work out why I didn't like pianos.

I listened to one of the tunes, I thought that it sounded pretty decent, the
girls could work on intonation when singing as an ensemble. Wish I
understood the words. The answer to your question as to what to classify
the music in my oppinion requires some more information. What is the origin
of the songs? Are they reworks of old songs, passed down from generation to
generation, are they originals, etc.
