15 equal divisions of the 5th harmonic (abbreviated 15ed5) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 5/1 into 15 equal parts of about 186 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 5^1/15, or the 15th root of 5. A multiple of 5ed5 It approximates the 7th, 12th, 13th, 18th, 31st and 43rd harmonics with some accuracy (but especially the 31st!). Hyperpyth analogues of blackwood of course are warranted.
