Seventeen Equal Divisions of the Octave (as opposed to the usual 12) is a microtonal/xenharmonic scale with no shortage of musical potential, but a scale in which very little music has been written. The Seventeen Tone Piano Project was initiated in Houston in 2006 when two of Rice University's surplus pianos were tuned to the 17-EDO scale. Since then, four concerts or 'phases' have been organized with this name, which featured new 17-tone music by Rice composers as well as microtonalists around the world.
