RE: A = 440 Hz OR 432 Hz?

yes Eb is standard tuning down a 1/2 step which doesn't change the pitch 
on a tuner.  My korg digital tuner would still register 440Hz even when 
tuning to Eb, changing the tuner pitch to 432Hz would register my Eb as 
slightly sharp since it would still be in 440Hz.

Correct me if wrong, but Eb tuning is just standard EADGBE with every 
string lowered by half a tone
As you unquoted me so well: When you tune in DADGAD (Led Zeppelin) or 
other open tunings, the intervals across strings change.
If you just transpose every string by the same amount, there is no 
significant change in microtuning (intervals) apart from inharmonicity 
changes caused by less or more stiffness of the strings (same effect 
changing string gauge).
