Alternate Tunings?

I recently started investigating some alternate tunings for solo and improvised music. It puts the natural harmonics in some different places, obviously, and I'm really into checking out those possibilities.

My favorite so far is (low to high) Eb, A, Db, G you can get these nice diminished chords with harmonics that sound really unusual.

Anyone else have an alternate tuning they like?

In a duo recording session with Ariel Shibolet, the Israeli soprano saxohonist, we got out the tuner and figured out the exact notes of some of his multiphonics and tuned the bass that way. Then I could build up string multiphonics on one string while the others gave sympathetic vibrations.
