This page essentially serves as a harmonization of the other 15edo guides on the wiki, but with plenty of my own details. First, though, a note on what I mean by temperaments related to 15edo. | This page essentially serves as a harmonization of the other 15edo guides on the wiki, but with plenty of my own details.

As established by other wiki members, the [[valentine]] temperament and [[24edt]] are alternatives to 15edo. In my experience, using either is a suitable alternative to 15edo, depending on your purposes. | As established by other wiki members, the [[valentine]] temperament and [[24edt]] are alternatives to 15edo.

24 equal divisions of the [[3/1|tritave]] (an octave plus a perfect fifth) gets you an even closer approximation of both valentine and 12edo than 15edo does. Its octave equivalent, 15\24edt, is slightly flat of [[2/1]]. I've seen people comment that 24edt sounds better than 15edo, and the fact that 24edt tones better approximate 12edo is probably why. I personally like to use a variation on 24edt that cuts off at the octave, forcing it to be octave-equivalent rather than tritave-equivalent. At this point it's effectively 15edo tuned a little flat, but that's fine by me. | 24 equal divisions of the [[3/1|tritave]] (an octave plus a perfect fifth) gets you an even closer approximation of both valentine and 12edo than 15edo does.
