53TETjärjestelmät
53TETjärjestelmät refers to a system of tuning musical instruments, primarily in microtonal music. The name originates from the Finnish word "tet" meaning "tone" or "semitone," suggesting a system that divides the octave into a number of steps. Specifically, 53TET divides the octave into 53 equal intervals. This is a form of equal temperament, where the octave is mathematically divided into a set number of precisely equal steps.
In standard Western music, the octave is typically divided into 12 equal semitones (12TET). 53TET, by contrast,
The practical application of 53TET requires specialized instruments or flexible tuning systems. Instruments designed for microtonal
