13edo refers to a tuning system which divides the octave (frequency ratio 2:1) into 13 equal parts. It is the sixth [[prime_numbers|prime]] edo, following [[11edo|11edo]] and coming before [[17edo|17edo]]. The steps less than 600¢ are narrower than their nearest 12edo approximation, while those greater than 600¢ are wider. This allows for some neat ear-bending tricks, whereby melodic gestures reminiscent of 12edo can quickly arrive at an unfamiliar place. | 13edo refers to a tuning system which divides the octave (frequency ratio 2:1) into 13 equal parts.
