Original Wikitext content:

37edo is the scale derived from dividing the octave into 37 equal steps of approximately 32.43 cents each. Using its best (and sharp) fifth, it tempers out 250/243, making it a [[Porcupine family|porcupine temperament]] tuning. Using its alternative flat fifth, it tempers out 16875/16384, making it a negri tuning. It also tempers out 2187/2000, giving a temperament where three minor whole tones make up a fifth.

[[toc|flat]]

=Subgroups= 
37edo offers close approximations to [[OverToneSeries|harmonics]] 5, 7, 11, and 13:

12\37 = 389.2 cents
30\37 = 973.0 cents
17\37 = 551.4 cents
26\37 = 843.2 cents

This means 37 is quite accurate on the 2.5.7.11.13 subgroup, where it shares the same tuning as 111et. In fact, on the larger [[k*N subgroups|3*37 subgroup]] 2.27.5.7.11.13.51.57 subgroup not only shares the same tuning as 19-limit 111et, it tempers out the same commas.

=The Two Fifths= 
The just [[perfect fifth]] of frequency ratio 3:2 is not well-approximated, and falls between two intervals in 37edo:

21\37 = 681.1 cents
22\37 = 713.5 cents

37edo thus has the distinction of being the first [[edo]] which occupies two spaces on the syntonic spectrum.

21\37 generates an anti-diatonic, or mavila, scale: 5 5 6 5 5 5 6
"minor third" = 10\37 = 324.3 cents
"major third" = 11\37 = 356.8 cents

22\37 generates an extreme superpythagorean scale: 7 7 1 7 7 7 1
"minor third" = 8\37 = 259.5 cents
"major third" = 14\37 = 454.1 cents
If the minor third of 259.5 cents is mapped to 7/6, this superpythagorean scale can be thought of as a variety of [[The Biosphere|Biome]] temperament.

37edo has great potential as a xenharmonic system, which high-prime chords such as 8:10:11:13:14 with no perfect fifths available for common terrestrial progressions.
