You tune the 2nd string B down to an A, and the bottom E string down a full octave below the 5th string A. I'm not sure what it would be called, however.
I'm not quite sure what to make of that! How does it sound?

I don't know how to explain it other than if you listen to my newest recording....
Stephen I google up this tuning and there really was no name other then alternate tuning,the several references I found were contained in threads from sites and the fact that some people use this tuning but there was no significant name attached to it like drop d or c I would think the key you apply this tuning to could factor in some way in regards to what its called 
I see...yeah, I was just curious to see if it did have an actual name, like "open A" or something, but I've seen other tunings before that don't really have a name either.
Michael Hedges used a similar tuning on the 1996 release of "The 2nd Law" off of Oracle. He used this;
