Welcome Eliot. I'd say that would certainly keep a man on his toes. Good lord. Have you heard Radim Zenkl's recording "Galactic Mandolin"? I think he uses 12 different intervals there. I'm sure that the person doing the retuning gains immense insights and a new way of looking at the fingerboard and maybe even finds finds tunings that work better for certain songs. I'll buy that. I think that the idea is more a personal exploration and learning experience for the user, not the listener although I do find Radim's album intriguing. Anyway, I'm still finding GDAE plenty of a handful.
