@WBHNH The low "E" is at standard pitch. String #1 is D# (+33 cents), String #2 is B (-33 cents), String 3 is F#, String 4 is C# (+33cents), String 5 is A (-33 cents), and String 6 is the low E. Essentially, instead of the strings tuned in ascending perfect fourths with one major third, it starts with the same low "E" but each string is 466 cents (33 cents smaller than a perfect fourth) higher than the next one.
very cool piece. can you provide the specifics of the scordatura used?
