'''13 equal divisions of the tritave''' ('''13edt''') is the [[nonoctave]] [[tuning system]] derived by dividing the [[tritave]] (3/1) into 13 equal steps of 146.3 [[cent]]s each, or the thirteenth root of 3. It is best known as the equal-tempered version of the [[~~Bohlen-Pierce~~]] scale, and therefore has received by far the most attention among equal divisions of the tritave.

'''13 equal divisions of the tritave''' ('''13edt''') is the [[nonoctave]] [[tuning system]] derived by dividing the [[tritave]] (3/1) into 13 equal steps of 146.3 [[cent]]s each, or the thirteenth root of 3. It is best known as the equal-tempered version of the [[Bohlen–Pierce]] scale, and therefore has received by far the most attention among equal divisions of the tritave.

It provides an excellent approximation to the [[3.5.7 subgroup]], especially for its size, being comparable to [[34edo]]'s accuracy in the 5-limit. In this subgroup, it tempers out [[245/243]] and [[3125/3087]], the same commas as [[Sensamagic_clan#Bohpier|bohpier temperament]]. It is less impressive in higher prime limits, but makes for excellent no-twos 7-limit harmony. For higher limits, the multiples of 13 ([[26edt]], [[39edt]] and [[52edt]]) come to the fore.

13edt can be described as approximately 8.202[[edo]]. This implies that each step of 13edt can be approximated by 5 steps of [[41edo]].
