The '''72 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''72edo'''), or '''72-tone equal temperament''' ('''72tet''', '''72et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, divides the [[octave]] into 72 steps or ''[[moria]]''. This produces a twelfth-tone tuning, with the whole tone measuring 200 cents, the same as in [[12edo]]. 72edo is also a superset of [[24edo]], a common and standard tuning of [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|Arabic]] music, and has itself been used to tune Turkish music.

Composers that used 72edo include [[Ivan Wyschnegradsky]], [[Julián Carrillo]] (who is better associated with [[96edo]]), [[Ezra Sims]], [[James Tenney]], [[Georg Friedrich Haas]] and the jazz musician [[Joe Maneri]].

Since 72 factors into 2<sup>3</sup> × 3<sup>2</sup>, 72edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, and 36 }}. [[144edo]], which doubles it, provides a possible correction to its approximate harmonic 13.
