← 19edf | 20edf | 21edf → |
20 equal divisions of the perfect fifth (abbreviated 20edf or 20ed3/2) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/2 into 20 equal parts of about 35.1 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of (3/2)1/20, or the 20th root of 3/2.
Theory
20edf corresponds to 34.1902edo. It is closely related to Carlos Gamma, where Carlos Gamma, and similarly the gammic temperament, can be seen as 20edf with an independent dimension for 2 (although strictly speaking, the "canonical" optimized Carlos Gamma tuning is not exactly 20edf, with its fifth stretched by the microscopic amount of 0.016 ¢). It very accurately represents the intervals 5/4, with 11 steps, and 17/16, with 3 steps.

The first steps up to two just perfect fifths should give a feeling of the granularity of this system…
