9 equal divisions of acoustic phi (9edϕ) is a tuning system that evenly divides ϕ into 9 parts of approximately 92.566 cents each. This scale is closely related to 13edo, but slightly stretched. The result is an equal 13-tone-per-octave scale where acoustic phi is justly intonated, and the octave equivalence is 1203.353 cents.
