 The '''equal division of 15/8''' ('''ed15/8''') is a [[tuning]] obtained by dividing the [[15/8|classic major seventh (15/8)]] in a certain number of [[equal]] steps.
-Division of 15/8 into equal parts does not necessarily imply directly using this interval as an [[equivalence]]. The utility of 15/8 (or another seventh) as a base though, is apparent by being used at the base of so much modern tonal harmony.
+Division of 15/8 into equal parts does not necessarily imply directly using this interval as an [[equivalence]]. Many, though not all, ed15/8 scales have a perceptually important [[Pseudo-octave|false octave]], with various degrees of accuracy.
+The structural importance of 15/8 is hinted by [[12edo|11\12]] being the second most common width for a [[tetrad]] in Western harmony, after 10\12.
