37afdo (arithmetic frequency division of the octave), or 37odo (otonal division of the octave), divides the octave into 37 parts of 1/37 each. As a scale it may be known as mode 37 of the harmonic series or the Over-37 scale.

It is the first odd AFDO in which both fifths (all odd AFDOs being either dual-fifth or fifthless) are diatonic, and has the incredibly accurate 44/37 quarter-octave.
