That would be really remarkable, considering there's no way instruments
can be tuned to each other that accurately.  Such people would probably
find it hard to listen to any music, as it would always be terribly out
of tune...

Look, changing the overall clock rate just shifts the absolute pitch of
the sound (by an incredibly tiny amount).  It doesn't introduce any
distortion.  That amound of shift is equivalent to the Doppler shift
from moving at about .03 m/s towards or away from the music.  Listen to
your stereo and try moving your head slowly backwards or forwards - do
you hear the pitch of the music change?
