'''[[Edt|Division of the third harmonic]] into 30 equal parts''' (30edt) is related to [[19edo|19 edo]], but with the 3/1 rather than the 2/1 being just.

The octave is [[octave stretch|stretched]] by about 4.5715 [[cents]] and the step size is about 63.3985 cents. It is consistent to the 10-[[integer-limit]]. | ||
Because [[19edo]] has the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 13th | Because [[19edo]] has the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 13th [[harmonic]]s all flat (the latter two very flat), it benefits greatly from octave stretching. 30edt is one possible alternative; at the cost of sharpening the octave, it achieves much better matches to the odd harmonics; the 3 (tritave) is by definition just, the 5 slightly sharp, and the 7 and 13 slightly flat. | ||
While the fifth is just, the fourth is noticeably sharper and less accurate than in 19edo, being close to that of [[26edo]]. | While the fifth is just, the fourth is noticeably sharper and less accurate than in 19edo, being close to that of [[26edo]]. | ||
30edt is a [[phoenix]] tuning and exhibits all the benefits of such tunings. | |||
