14 equal divisions of the tritave, perfect twelfth, or 3rd harmonic (abbreviated 14edt or 14ed3), is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/1 into 14 equal parts of about 136 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 31/14, or the 14th root of 3.

Theory

14edt is the simplest edt with a distinct form for each rotation of the antilambda scale. It can be seen as 9edo with significantly stretched octaves (~23 ¢) and may be used as a tuning for Pelog.
