In music, '''19 equal temperament''', called 19-TET, 19-[[EDO]], or 19-ET, is the scale derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 19 [[Equal|equally]] large steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of the 19th root of 2, or about 63.2 [[cent|cents]]. It is the 8th [[prime EDO]], following [[17edo]] and preceding [[23edo]].
'''19 equal divisions of the octave''' (19-[[EDO]]), or '''19(-tone) equal temperament''' (19-ET, 19-TET) when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, is the tuning system derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 19 [[Equal|equally]] large steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of the 19th root of 2, or about 63.2 [[cent]]s. It is the 8th [[prime EDO]], following [[17edo]] and preceding [[23edo]].
