Most origional response gets a digitally signed optimized copy of a graphical representation of an altered historical tuning. (whew!) </BLOCKQUOTE> It depends on the customer.  In some cases, it is, "da tooning, der" (in local dialect with no explanation offered nor wanted from the customer).  In others, it is, "Custom Tuning" (explained as tuning the piano to itself by careful listening and optimum compromise).  In still others, it is, "Musical Tuning" (same explanation as before).
