(semiconvergent)
72 equal divisions of the 5th harmonic (abbreviated 72ed5) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 5/1 into 72 equal parts of about 38.7 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 51/72, or the 72nd root of 5.
Theory
72ed5 is related to 31edo, but with the 5/1 rather than the 2/1 being just. The octave is slightly compressed (about 0.3372 cents). Like 31edo, 72ed5 is consistent through the 12-integer-limit, but it has a flat tendency, with prime harmonics 2, 3, 7, and 11 all tuned flat. It supports meantone as the number of divisions of the 5th harmonic is multiple of 4.
