| Dec 12, 2015 at 11:51 | comment | added | Peter Shor | If you sing all the notes sharp or flat, it sounds fine to people who don't have perfect pitch. But if you're off on just one note, it doesn't. Which of these two cases are you looking for the word for? | |

| Dec 11, 2015 at 21:37 | comment | added | JHCL | What about fidelity, or simply accuracy? | |
| Dec 11, 2015 at 21:15 | comment | added | MetaEd | Also on pitch or off pitch. | |
| Dec 11, 2015 at 21:04 | comment | added | phoog | Especially if there are other notes sounding at the same time, one would say it is out of tune. In any event, it could be said to be sharp or flat. The opposite of pure, by the way, is impure, not "unpure." | |
