This tuning is related to 27EDO having ~5.7 cent octave compression, a small but significant deviation. This is particularly relevant because 27EDO is a "sharp tending" system, and flattening its octaves has been suggested before as an improvement (I think by no less than Ivor Darreg, but I'll have to check that).
This tuning is related to 27EDO having ~5.7 cent octave compression, a small but significant deviation. This is particularly relevant because 27EDO tunes the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 13th harmonics sharp, thus 43EDT improves those approximations.


However, in addition to its rich octave-based harmony, the 43EDT is also a fine tritave-based tuning: with a 7/3 of 1460 cents and such a near perfect 5/3, Bohlen-Pierce harmony is very clear and hearty, as well as capable of extended enharmonic distinctions that [[13edt|13EDT]] is not. The 4L+5s MOS has L=7 s=3.
