I dunno... a flute playing off either way sets my teeth on edge! I have perfect (or something reasonably close to it) pitch myself, and actually _any_ instrument played off-key bothers me. Especially my own: A few years ago I happened to get a little happy with the lubrication when greasing one of the slides on my trumpet. I ended up playing the whole concert off-key due to the slide's, well, _sliding_ while I was playing! :-P Continually changed the pitches! Good thing there were other trumpets in the band! :-) (I laugh about it now, but at the time, it was pretty excruciating to my ears!)
