Not an answer (sorry), but I think that you're referring to "relative" pitch - 
the ablitiy to identify intervals.  Well, at least that's what most musicians 
use to transcribe music. If someone knows the instrument well, they can also 
fix the key based on the timbre of the different notes. It is true that some 
musicians and non-musicians have "perfect" pitch, the ability to identify an 
absolute pitch without any context, but this isn't the ordinary way people do 
it, and in fact I had a composition teacher once with perfect pitch who said 
it was a curse.
