Sfas Emes - although I picked it up from the Schottenstein Tehillim
(interlineary version).
(I was sloppy not to check up where it was from when I told Czhang about
this very interesting commentary, in one of our discussions on
microtonality.)
ArtScroll's Schottenstein Tehillim, 92:4, the verse being:
Upon a tenstringed instrument and upon lyre, with singing accompanied by
harp.
The commentary doesn't use the exact word "microtonal" but talks about a
"heightened form of songs" and about this not being limited to the scale of
today, utilizing new tones (derived from the word "ten stringed
instrument".).
