15 Equal or 15 EDO is a tuning which divides the octave into 15 equally spaced pitches. It can be thought of as three sets of 5-EDO which do not connect by fifths. The fifth at 720 cents is quite wide yet still useable as a perfect fifth. Some would describe the fifth as more shimmery and pungent than anything closer to a just 3/2. The perfect fifth of 15 EDO returns to the octave if stacked five times which is radically different than a meantone system.
