'''13edo''' is a tuning system which divides the [[octave]] into 13 equal parts of approx. 92.31 [[cent]]s each. It is the sixth [[prime edo]], following [[11edo]] and coming before [[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.
