No. The technical requirements needed to generate a particular pitch on the instrument, on any instrument, are not relevant. I am speaking to the relationship between an instrument's generated pitch (however than is accomplished on that instrument) and the printed note/pitch in standard music notation. This applies to all pitches from the instrument, in a relative sense when compared to pitches created by other instruments.
