71edo
| ← 70edo | 71edo | 72edo → |
The 71 equal temperament or 71-EDO divides the octave into 71 equal parts of 16.901 cents each.
71edo is the 20th prime EDO.
71edo is, quite unusually for an EDO this large, a dual-fifth system, with the flat fifth (which is near 26edo's fifth) supporting flattone temperament, and the sharp fifth (which is near 22edo's fifth) supporting superpyth and archy. Unlike small dual-fifth systems such as 18edo, both fifths are close approximations of 3/2.
