I can not hear the difference between keys.
My wife and daughter, pretty much have perfect pitch.
They can both pick up instruments they've never held before and if you show them the mechanics they can start playing it.
Really annoying and makes me jealous as hell.

My brother is like that. We were taking care of the people's house across the street when they were out of town, cleaning the leaves out of the pool, that sort of thing. One of the daughters played violin, Lori I think. He had seen one played. First time he touches a violin, picks it up, noodles around on it a few seconds and plays Popeye the sailor. It was freaky. I bet he has 20 different kinds of musical instruments at his house. He has a mandolin that my grandfather made
He has an accordion, I remember it as being heavy
