'''73-EDO''' divides the octave into 73 equal parts of 16.438 [[cent]]s each. It tempers out 78732/78125 and 262144/253125 in the [[5-limit]], [[126/125]] and [[245/243]] in the [[7-limit]], 176/175, 441/440 and 4000/3993 in the [[11-limit]], and 91/90, 169/168, 196/195, [[325/324]], [[351/350]] and [[352/351]] in the [[13-limit]].

73edo fits in mavila scale, by the 9;5 relation in the [[7L_2s|superdiatonic]] scheme.
73edo can be used as a tuning of [[trismegistus]] or [[mavila]], by the 9:5 relation in the [[7L 2s|superdiatonic]] scheme, though neither of these use the most accurate 3/2. It is also notable for supporting the 2.3.5.7.13 version of [[sensi]] entirely by patent val.

73 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 73edo or 73ed2), also called 73-tone equal temperament (73tet) or 73 equal temperament (73et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 73 equal parts of about 16.4 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/73, or the 73rd root of 2.

Theory

73edo has a very sharp tendency, with the approximations of 3, 5, 7, 11 all sharp. The equal temperament tempers out 78732/78125 and 262144/253125 in the 5-limit; 126/125 and 245/243 in the 7-limit; 176/175, 441/440 and 4000/3993 in the 11-limit; 91/90, 169/168, 196/195, 325/324, 351/350, and 352/351 in the 13-limit. It provides the optimal patent val for the marrakesh temperament, though 104edo and 135edo tune it better.

73edo can be used as a tuning of trismegistus or mavila, by the 9:5 relation in the superdiatonic scheme, though neither of these use the most accurate 3/2. It is also notable for supporting the 2.3.5.7.13 version of sensi entirely by patent val.
