17edt divides 3, the tritave, into 17 equal parts of 111.880 cents each, corresponding to 10.726 edo. It tempers out 245/243 and 16807/15625 in the 7-limit, 77/75 and 1331/1323 in the 11-limit, and 175/169 and 121/117 in the 13-limit. It supports the no-twos temperament tempering out 245/243 and 77/75, which in terms of tritave patent vals could be written 17&21.[[category:macrotonal]]

17edt is the sixth [[The_Riemann_Zeta_Function_and_Tuning#Removing primes|zeta peak tritave division]].

=Discussion=

17edt is closely related to [[13edt|13edt]], the Bohlen-Pierce division, because they share the feature of tempering out 245/243. Both 13edt and 17edt have 4L+5s nonatonic modes, but whereas the ratio of large to small steps in 13edt is a calm 2:1, in 17edt it is a hard 3:1. Thus, the approximation of 5/3 and 7/3 suffers slightly in return for gaining a good approximation of 11/9 (given the context of the weak 5/3 and 7/3), which is in fact the size of the large step. However, by the coincidence of the 11-limit commas 17edt tempers out, 5/3 and 11/9 are off by practically the same amount in opposite directions (+10.7 cents and -11.8 cents), leading to an excellent approximation of 55/27 (only 1.1 cents flat), as are 11/9 and 9/7 (-11.8 cents and +12.4 cents),
