'''6edt''' is the abbreviation for '''6 Equal Divisions of the Tritave'''.
{{Infobox ET}}
Since 6edt contains one intervals of [[2edt]] and two intervals of [[3edt]], it only introduces 2 new notes. These new notes happen to approximate [[6/5]] and [[5/2]] quite well.
{{ED intro}}
6edt is therefore the smallest edt other than [[5edt]] to accurately approximate [[5-limit]] harmony. 6edt allows for construction of chords such as 2:5:6:15:18:26:31:45:54...
 
== Theory ==
Since 6edt contains one interval of [[2edt]] and two intervals of [[3edt]], it introduces 2 new notes unseen in previous edts. These new notes happen to approximate [[6/5]] and [[5/2]] very well, the former being only 1.351 [[cents]] sharp.
6edt is therefore the smallest edt other than [[5edt]] to accurately approximate [[5-limit]] harmony, as well as some elements from the [[13-limit]] inherited from [[3edt]]. 6edt allows for construction of chords such as 2:5:6:15:18:26:31:45:54...
