'''Duodene''' is a 12-note scale in just intonation, representing a natural approach to [[detempering]] standard [[12edo]], when considered as a [[5-limit]] [[temperament]]. | '''Duodene''' is a 12-note scale in just intonation, representing a natural approach to [[detempering]] standard [[12edo]], when considered as a [[5-limit]] [[temperament]]. | ||
The scale was named by [[Alexander Ellis]] in an 1875 article<ref>[[Alexander Ellis|Alexander J. Ellis]]. ''On musical Duodenes, or the theory of constructing instruments with fixed tones in just or practically just intonation''. in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, 1875, [http://doi.org/10.1098/rspl.1874.0004 doi:10.1098/rspl.1874.0004]</ref> where he uses it to develop a theory of the chromatic scale in [[just intonation]]. | The scale was named by [[Alexander Ellis]] in an 1875 article<ref>[[Alexander Ellis|Alexander J.
