Original Wikitext content:
The 166 equal temperament (in short 166-[[EDO]]) divides the [[octave]] into 166 equal steps of size 7.229 [[cent]]s each. Its principle interest lies in the usefulness of its approximations; it tempers out 225/224, 385/384, 540/539 and 4000/3993. It is an excellent tuning for the rank three temperament [[marvel]], especially the [[11-limit]] version tempering out both 225/224 and 385/384, and the rank two temperament wizard, which also tempers out 4000/3993, giving the [[optimal patent val]] for both of these. In the 13-limit it also tempers out 325/324, leading to 13-limit marvel, and 1573/1568, leading to marvell. Tempering out both gives [[Marvel temperaments|gizzard]], the 72&94 temperament, for which 166 is an excellent tuning through the 19 limit.
