'''ED16/9''' is the equal division of the the Pythagorean minor seventh ([[16/9]]) into n parts.
The '''equal division of 16/9''' ('''ed16/9''') is a [[tuning]] obtained by dividing the [[16/9|Pythagorean minor seventh (16/9)]] in a certain number of [[equal]] steps.


Division of 16/9 into equal parts can be conceived of as to directly use this interval as an [[equivalence]], or not. The utility of 16/9 (or another seventh) as a base though, is apparent by being used at the base of so much modern tonal harmony.

An ed16/9 can be generated by taking every other tone of an [[ed4/3]], so even-numbered ed16/9's can also be used for neo-Medieval harmony.
