This page presents a topic that is not to be taken seriously. It features ideas that may not necessarily be based on on practical xenharmonic concepts, but applied in a nonsensical, satirical, or humorous manner.

Much like novelty topics, this page may also feature idiosyncratic terms, notations, or conceptual frameworks.

51 equal divisions of the 19th harmonic (abbreviated 51ed19) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 19/1 into 51 equal parts of about 100 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 191/51, or the 51st root of 19.

Theory

51ed19 is very closely related to 12edo, but with the 19/1 rather than the 2/1 being just. The enneadectave is too wide to be a useful equivalence, so this is more of a way to sneak in an equal division of it while keeping music made with it familiar.
