186 equal divisions of the 6th harmonic (abbreviated 186ed6) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 6/1 into 186 equal parts of about 16.7 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 61/186, or the 186th root of 6.
Theory
186ed6 is closely related to 72edo, but with the 6th harmonic rather than the octave being just, which results in the octaves being stretched by about 0.757 ¢. Like 72edo, 186ed6 is consistent to the 18-integer-limit, and significantly improves on 72edo's approximation to 13.
