43 equal divisions of the 5th harmonic (abbreviated 43ed5) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 5/1 into 43 equal parts of about 64.8 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 51/43, or the 43rd root of 5.

Theory

43ed5 misses 2/1 and cannot be considered equal to 18edo or 19edo. It is actually similar to 37ed4 (18.5edo).

In terms of no-2's no-3's subgroups, 43ed5 excels in the 5.7.11 subgroup. It supports the pentadacus temperament and is a nearly-optimal tuning of it. Unfortunately, it completely misses the 13th harmonic and has mediocre approximations for the 17th and 19th harmonics.
