You describe the excellence of a trained ear or a born talent or the
combination. In action, the phenomenon is arresting. I had a colleague, a
surgeon from India. She tuned my clavichord one day and did it very well
just by playing and adjusting to her ear each note. I asked how she
learned, "As a child you were told to sing a note. If the note was wrong,
you were hit. "
