Hidekazu Wakabayashi tuned a piano and harp to where the normal sharps and flats are tuned 50 cents higher in which he called [[Iceface tuning]]. Iceface tuning is one type of scordatura piano (or other keyboard instrument) tuning. A more complex type of [[Wikipedia:scordatura|scordatura]] tuning was required for a performance of Charles Ives' 4th Symphony which calls for a quarter-tone piano, but for which no quarter-tone piano was available, as described by Thomas Broadhead in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1G2XFVtnXU this video]. For this composition the gamut of notes needed would not be met using a simple transformation such as Iceface. ~~{{todo|inline=1|provide example|text=Find a~~ legally freely available ~~recording using~~ this tuning.}}

Although no recording using the above tuning is currently legally freely available, [[Paweł Mykietyn]] has used a similar idea with harp and harpsichord. A score video of this is available as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7o0uwPrYas ''Klave for Microtonal Harpsichord and Chamber Orchestra (Score-Video)''] (2004, performed by Elżbieta Chojnacka with Marek Moś conducting the AUKSO chamber orchestra of the city of Tychy, uploaded by Quinone Bob with permission from Paweł Mykietyn); the video starts with slides explaining the scordatura tuning of each manual of the Revival harpsichord (with each manual having a differrent scordatura tuning), followed by the scordatura tuning of the harp.

==== Quarter-tone instruments ====

A very small number of quarter-tone pianos have been built — here are a couple of videos of these instruments being tested/played experimentally (to demonstrate their capabilities rather than to play specific compositions that would qualify for the 24edo Music section):
