Strangely, it kind of makes me want to listen to Mozart today.

Interesting quote from Wikipedia:

Mozart wrote the solo viola part for his Sinfonia Concertante a semitone lower, with the viola strings to be tuned a semitone higher to D♭, A♭, E♭, B♭. A common practice of the time, changing the pitch of the open strings was primarily intended to make the viola sound louder, and so better discernible in the symphonic orchestra: indeed, increasing the tension in a string, not only sharpens the pitch, but also makes it sound louder, the loudest sound being obtained just before breaking. Other viola concerti employing this type of scordatura were written by Carl Stamitz, Johann Baptist Vaňhal, Johann Andreas Amon, Jiří Družecký, Johannes Matthias Sperger and Johann Georg Hermann Voigt.[1] Source: Riley, Maurice W. (1991). The History of the Viola, Volume II. Ann Arbor, Michigan: Braun-Brumfield. pp. 138–143.

Is this proof of Mozart's use of a proto-whale call technique?

Not at all.  It just means that Mozart utilized alternate tunings.

Yeah, but he didn't invent it.  Scordatura, as it is called, was around before his time.  Anyway, I say Page should learn the glass harmonica: 

I'd love to hear that amplified in an arena or ampitheather, more interesting than a theremin IMO.
