Offset from concert pitch (A 440). Spread: the middle half of the songs, when four or more share the album's pitch. Confidence: how well the notes agree with one grid.

Before we measured, sources said: F♯ Standard, with no pitch given (community).

Terry Date produced again. Tabs put Carpenter's eight-string in F♯ Standard on most songs, and The Spell of Mathematics, Radiant City and the title track on his new custom ESP nine-string, tabbed C♯ F♯ B E A D G B E. The Japanese CD sits at concert pitch (about 2 ¢ sharp), every song within 4 ¢.

    Notes

    The first song released with Carpenter's custom ESP nine-string (ESP, Guitar World). Tabs tune it C♯ F♯ B E A D G B E but note that the riff stays on the top six strings, the same notes as E Standard; Guitar World heard an octave pedal doing much of the low end.
