<b>23-TET</b>, or <b>23-EDO</b>, is a tempered musical system which divides the [[Octave|octave]] into 23 equal parts of approximately 52.173913 cents, which is also called with the neologism Icositriphony ''(Icositrifonía)''. It has good approximations for [[5/3]], [[11/7]], 13 and 17, allowing it to represent the 2.5/3.11/7.13.17 [[just intonation subgroup]]. If to this subgroup is added the commas of [[17-limit]] [[46edo]], the larger 17-limit [[k*N_subgroups|2*23 subgroup]] 2.9.15.21.33.13.17 is obtained. This is the largest subgroup on which 23 has the same tuning and commas as does 17-limit·46edo, and may be regarded as a basis for analyzing the harmony of 23-EDO so far, as approximations to just intervals goes. 23edo is the 9th [[prime numbers|prime]] edo, following [[19edo]] and coming before [[29edo]].

23-EDO was proposed by ethnomusicologist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_von_Hornbostel Erich von Hornbostel] as the result of continuing a circle of "blown" fifths of ~678-cent fifths that (he argued) resulted from "overblowing" a bamboo pipe.
