Provided the video is bona fide, this is merely a good example of someone
who is capable of memorizing the 12 tones of the piano. Which, as discussed
elsewhere in this thread, is not really perfect pitch.

For example, I cut out the "sing an A" part and played the notes through
a sensitive tuner. The piano A was 439.3 Hz, which I attribute to the video
recording. So I calibrated the tuner to this, and measured the boy's A. It
was approx 435 Hz. Impressive, though. Maybe he's a reincarnated
baroque musician?
