I think Donald calls it pipe tuning. He came up with it as a way of matching the scale on highland pipes (hence also the name that Hohner produces in this tuning, the Highlander).

Anyone know the name of the harp tuning used by Donald Black - 3 draw tuned
down 2 semi-tones? It makes gaelic airs easier to play.
