Anyone use alternate tunings like A432hz or A425hz?

I usually tune to A440. About a year ago i moved to Eb.... but recently I've been tinkering and really like A425. Has a little tighter feel over Eb (obviously) but also had a nice throaty sound.

A few weeks ago I bought some 11's and tuned down to drop C# while I was learning a riff from Rocco Pezzin riff, but ended that after a few hours. lol

Anyone else tinker with tunings outside of typical stuff?

I have guitars from standard E down to drop A. Isn’t 432 supposed to be calming or something of the sort? I know I’ve listened to Pink Floyd albums in 432 on YouTube

Way back in the day when I was learning Pantera songs, I found out they were at A430, so I messed with that. There are some interesting videos on youtube about 440, and why it's bad/good.

I tune to A 443 because I'm a sucker for the tone on Shadows Are Security, and that's what I figured it's tuned to since it's a little sharp from standard Drop C.

Maybe, 430 sounded right to me when I remembered it. It's been forever.

I dabbled in 1/4 step down a while ago. AC/DC, Exodus and Megadeth have some stuff tuned to that. After awhile it drove me nuts because I was always out of tune with background sounds while noodling on guitar (music on TV, iPad, etc). Everything sounds good in Eb so I'll stick with that.

Yeah, backing tracks not being in tune is a big issue. ?.

Play with it. See what you like? I like 444hz. Closest to pythagorean intervals. When I started tuning like this last year, I felt G chords just rang and sustained better. So I now use it.

432 is the frequency the universe oscillates/ vibrates according to esotheric folks. Not sure what to think about this.
