An equal division of reduced harmonic 257 (ed257/128) is an equal-step tuning in which the octave-reduced 257th harmonic (257/128) is justly tuned and is divided in a given number of equal steps. 257/128 is very close to the octave, 2/1, but it is slightly sharper. This makes it suitable as an alternative to edos whose consonances are too flat, such as 7edo.
