1880 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 1880edo or 1880ed2), also called 1880-tone equal temperament (1880tet) or 1880 equal temperament (1880et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1880 equal parts of about 0.638 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/1880, or the 1880th root of 2.

1880 = 20 × 94, and 1880edo shares its harmonic 3 with 94edo. It is consistent in the 7-odd-limit, and is overall a decent 13-limit system, although its 9/8 is off the stack of two 3/2's by one step, which prevents consistency in the 9-odd-limit.

In the 13-limit, it tempers out 6656/6655 and supports the 2.5.7.11.13 subgroup eternal revolutionary temperament.
