'''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]]. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for [[marrakesh]] temperament. 73et has a sharp tendency, with the approximations of 3, 5, 7, 11 all sharp, see following table.

73edo has a very sharp tendency, with the approximations of [[3/1|3]], [[5/1|5]], [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]] all sharp. The equal temperament [[tempering out|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 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.


73edo is the 21st [[prime edo]].
