1911 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 1911edo or 1911ed2), also called 1911-tone equal temperament (1911tet) or 1911 equal temperament (1911et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1911 equal parts of about 0.628 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/1911, or the 1911th root of 2.
Theory
1911edo is consistent in the 11-odd-limit. The equal temperament tempers out the aluminium comma in the 5-limit, and it provides the optimal patent val for the protactinium temperament in the 17-limit. However as may stem from consistency only in the 11-limit, the 13th harmonic has a large relative error. As such, 1911edo is best considered as a 2.3.5.7.11.17.19 subgroup tuning.
