'''37edo''' is a scale derived from dividing the octave into 37 equal steps of approximately 32.43 cents each. It is the 12th [[prime_numbers|prime]] edo, following [[31edo]] and coming before [[41edo]].
| Step size = 32.432¢
| Fifth type = 20\34 = 705.88¢ = [[17edo]]
| Major 2nd = 7\37 = 227¢
| Minor 2nd = 1\37 = 32¢
| Augmented 1sn = 6\37 = 195¢

Using its best (and sharp) fifth, 37edo tempers out 250/243, making it a variant of [[porcupine]] temperament. It is the optimal patent val for [[Porcupine_family#Porcupinefish|porcupinefish]], which is about as accurate as "13-limit porcupine" will be. Using its alternative flat fifth, it tempers out 16875/16384, making it a [[Negri|negri]] tuning. It also tempers out 2187/2000, resulting in a temperament where three minor whole tones make up a fifth ([[gorgo]]/[[laconic]]).

37edo is also a very accurate equal tuning for [[undecimation]] temperament, which has a generator of about 519 cents; 2 generators lead to 29/16; 3 generators to 32/13; 6 generators to a 10 cent sharp 6/1; 8 generators to a very accurate 11/1 and 10 generators to 20/1. It has a 7L+2s nonatonic MOS, which in 37-edo scale degrees is 0, 1, 6, 11, 16, 17, 22, 27, 32, a scale structure reminiscent of mavila; as well as a 16 note MOS.
