En tout cas, chapeau à DLR, qui assure comme si de rien n'était.
Ca va être dur d'accuser les synthés sur ce coup.
Sinon, pour l'accordage "particulier" d'Eddie, Lonnie Totman, son ancien technicien, l'a expliqué sur HRI.

Ed's bizarre tuning:
This all MUST be done by ear with exception of first pitch. Programming offsets into a tuner will NOT work.
Notes:
> this tuning sequence typically needs to be done a couple times because everything "floats" so much (finger pressure, bridge etc.)
> this tuning is TOTALLY dependent on mimicking Ed's finger pressure. If you press differently it all changes
> A couple chords like "open D" usually sound fairly out. Ed has a pretty heavy hand and naturally pulls them in. So if this is a little weird sounding its normal.
TUNING:
#1: reference the 4th string open D to 440 with tuner this is ONLY time tuner is used with exception of a few strings while doing intonation
#2: next step (by ear) - on 9th fret barre with 3rd finger on 4th, 3rd, 2nd strings. Your aiming for NO BEATING BETWEEN THESE 3 PITCHES. The whole tuning revolves around this section.
(this drops the B sting a lot (approx. 14 cents or more)
(its very important to make sure first finger is placed on 5th string 7th fret even though you don't play it, changes everything if you don't).
#3: Get the 1st string open E by playing it against the 2nd string open B WITH NO BEATING. (drops the E approx. 11 cents or more).
#4: To get the 5th string do a simple open A barre on 2nd fret with your first finger. Match the 5th and 3rd string for no beating. (4th string should be pretty much in).
#5: To get the 6th string C# PULL OUT THE D TUNER. Barre the first fret with your first finger. Match the 6th string first fret with the 4th string first fret with NO BEATING.
#6: To set D Tuner fine tuning push the D Tuner back in (normal setting). Place first finger on 7th fret and 4th string 9th fret with third finger. Fine tune these two pitches with no beating (allen screw on D Tuner)
INTONATION:
#1: Intonation for 1st, 3rd, 4th and 6th strings can be done with a tuner like normal. If a little fine tuning is required trust your ear.
#2: To get 2nd string intonation play a B major triad on 9th fret (B-9th fret/4th string, D#-8th fret/3rd string, F#-7th fret/2nd string). Play one pitch at a time staring with B. Typically the F# will be way out. Adjust the 2nd string intonation to make the F# in with the rest of B major triad.
#3: To get the 5th string intonation play an E major on 7th fret (E-7th fret/5th string with first finger, Barre with 3rd finger on 9th fret for B,E,G#). Typically the E on 5th string will be out. Adjust the 5th string intonation to make the 5th string E in with rest of E major chord.
None of this was explained to me. I compiled it by watching him fine tune during sound-checks etc. He totally freaks out when a tech doesn't "just know this". Unreasonable like usual.
Have fun!!
Si ça vous tente.
N'empêche que j'ai du mal à me faire à l'idée, même si je peux (presque) comprendre.
