caption_attribution_description: Syntonic temperament's tuning continuum
context_page_description: In music, 17 tone equal temperament is the tempered scale derived by dividing the octave into 17 equal steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of ¹⁷√2, or 70.6 cents.
  17-ET is the tuning of the Regular diatonic tuning in which the tempered perfect fifth is equal to 705.88 cents, as shown in Figure 1.
context_section_description: In music, 17 tone equal temperament is the tempered scale derived by dividing the octave into 17 equal steps (equal frequency ratios). Each step represents a frequency ratio of ¹⁷√2, or 70.6 cents (play ).
  17-ET is the tuning of the Regular diatonic tuning in which the tempered perfect fifth is equal to 705.88 cents, as shown in Figure 1 (look for the label "17-TET").
