I've been thinking about this. People with perfect pitch can have the kind of synethesia which associates a note with another sense, but most of us don't have perfect pitch. I have relative pitch, a melody sounds the same to me if transposed up or down a semitone, or more. For me a string of notes, a melody can evoke a feeling or another sense.
A melody sounds higher or lower in pitch if I have to move it up or down an octive...I often did have to move tunes from g to d for the mountain dulcimer players when I ran a dulcimer club (I play the hammer dulcimer) so they did not have to re tune their instruments,which would be a pain.
