43edo is strongly associated with [[Meantone|meantone temperament]], particularly [[1/5-comma meantone]], being a good tuning system in the 5, 7, 11, and 13-limit. The version of 11-limit meantone is the one tempering out [[99/98]], [[176/175]] and [[441/440]] sometimes called Huygens. 43-equal has the first good 13-limit meantone available as an equal division of the octave. The baroque, French, ironically hearing and speech impaired acoustician [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Sauveur Joseph Sauveur] based his system on 43 equal tones to the octave, calling them "merides".

The composer [http://juhanpuhmmusic.ca Juhan Puhm] uses 43edo in some of his meantone suites for fortepiano and prefers it to [[31edo]].
