5 equal divisions of the perfect fifth (abbreviated 5edf or 5ed3/2) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/2 into 5 equal parts of about 140 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of (3/2)1/5, or the 5th root of 3/2. It corresponds to 8.5476 edo.

Theory

5edf is close to the bleu generator chain and every second step of 17edo. 4 steps of 5edf is a fraction of a cent away to the seventh harmonic (which is 112/81 instead of 7/4 since the equave is 3/2), which is an extremely accurate approximation for the size of this scale.
