[Harp-L] How much is Enough?

[The Iceman]

If one decides not to tolerate being off pitch at all, one would probably evolve into a better musician...no matter what the instrument.

Since we harp players struggle at times with accurate pitch, my mind is
running with curiosity for HOW MUCH off-pitch we will tolerate, accept, or
approve?.
Also factored in would be HOW LONG we stay on a note of questionable pitch.
(Duration)
Third would be cultural norms and boundaries about pitch in a musical
context.

(This is where one of my harp students would exclaim "You have too much
time on your hands!")

Has anyone seen research on these questions?
