An equal division of reduced harmonic 257 (ed257/128) is an equal-step tuning in which the 4ve-reduced 257th harmonic (257/128) is justly tuned and is divided in a given number of equal steps. 257/128 is very close to the octave, 2/1, but it is slightly sharper. This makes it suitable as an alternative to edos whose consonances are too flat, such as 7edo.

Ed257/128s really only make sense for that purpose with 65 or fewer tones per pseudo-octave. With more tones than that, the relative error on 2/1 becomes unacceptably high and it makes more sense to switch to a different tuning like a zpi or ed513/256.

Ed257/128s are the complementary opposite of ed255/128s.

This is an excellent tuning for dreamtone temperament, much better than standard 33edo. It is almost exactly the TE tuning.
