25 equal divisions of the tritave, perfect twelfth, or 3rd harmonic (abbreviated 25edt or 25ed3), is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/1 into 25 equal parts of about 76.1 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 31/25, or the 25th root of 3.

Theory

25edt corresponds to 15.7732…edo, or 16 equal divisions of a stretched octave (1217.25 ¢) and a tritave twin of the Armodue/Hornbostel flat third-tone system:

  • 6th = 1065.095 ¢
  • squared = 2130.19 ¢ → 228.235 ¢
  • cubed = 1293.33 ¢
  • fourth power = 2358.425 ¢ → 456.47 ¢

It can be used as a tuning for mavila and has an antidiatonic (2L 5s) scale which approximates Pelog tunings in Indonesian gamelan music.
