'''7-edo''' or "Neutral diatonic" divides the 1200-cent [[octave]] into 7 equal parts, making its smallest interval [[cent|171.428¢]], or the seventh root of 2. It is the fourth [[prime numbers|prime]] edo, after [[2edo]], [[3edo]] and [[5edo]]. It is the third [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning#Zeta EDO lists|zeta integral edo]].

Equal-heptatonic scales are used in non-western music in African cultures as well as an integral part of early Thai and early Chinese music. It has been speculated in "Indian music:history and structure", that the Indian three-sruti interval of 165 cents is close enough to be mistaken for 171 cents. (or 1.71 semitones).
