53 equal temperament

In music, 53 equal temperament, called 53 TET, 53 EDO, or 53 ET, is the tempered scale derived by dividing the octave into 53 equal steps (equal frequency ratios). Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21⁄53, or 22.6415 cents , an interval sometimes called the Holdrian comma. 53-TET is a tuning of equal temperament in which the tempered perfect fifth is 701.89 cents wide, as shown in Figure 1. The interval of 7⁄4 is 4.8 cents sharp in 53-TET, and using it for 7-limit harmony means that the septimal kleisma, the interval 225⁄224, is also tempered out.
