The 65 equal divisions of the octave (65edo), or 65(-tone) equal temperament (65tet, 65et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, divides the octave into 65 equal parts of about 18.5 cents each.

Theory

65et can be characterized as the temperament which tempers out the schisma, 32805/32768, the sensipent comma, 78732/78125, and the würschmidt comma. In the 7-limit, there are two different maps; the first is 65 103 151 182], tempering out 126/125, 245/243 and 686/675, so that it supports sensi temperament, and the second is 65 103 151 183] (65d), tempering out 225/224, 3125/3087, 4000/3969 and 5120/5103, so that it supports garibaldi temperament. In both cases, the tuning privileges the 5-limit over the 7-limit, as the 5-limit of 65 is quite accurate. The same can be said for the two different versions of 7-limit würschmidt temperament (wurschmidt and worschmidt) these two mappings provide.

65edo approximates the intervals 3/2, 5/4, 11/8, 19/16, 23/16 and 31/16 well, so that it does a good job representing the 2.3.5.11.19.23.31 just intonation subgroup. To this one may want to add 17/16 and 29/16, giving the 31-limit no-7's no-13's subgroup 2.3.5.11.17.19.23.29.31. Also of interest is the 19-limit 2*65 subgroup 2.3.5.49.11.91.119.19, on which 65 has the same tuning and commas as the zeta edo 130edo.

65edo contains 13edo as a subset. The offset between a just perfect fifth at 702 cents and the 13edo superfifth at 738.5 cents, is approximately 2 degrees of 65edo. Therefore, an instrument fretted to 13edo, with open strings tuned to 3-limit intervals such as 4/3, 3/2, 9/8, 16/9 etc, will approximate a subset of 65edo. For an example of this, see Rubble: a Xenuke Unfolded.
