Hey there! I'm Eliseo. I enjoy playing piano, guitar, and ukulele.

Favourite ETs/EDOs

• 19EDO - This is a great tuning system. I definitely recommend this tuning system as one to start out with, as 99% of pop music can be played in this tuning, with a slight change in texture. I really love how the the major sixth and minor third intervals are so perfectly in tune. The major third and minor sixth are closer to just intonation than 12EDO as well. It's a really good tuning system to start with to explore microtonality, as the regular diatonic scale is preserved, meaning you can play almost all the music on the radio today. It will sound a little different though. What's really cool about is that many notes which used to be enharmonic no longer are, such as G♯ and A♭. Also, intervals such as 648/625, 36/35, 128/125, 50/49, and 64/63 are no longer tempered out. HEHEHE I AM A SUPAHSTAR SAGA has made a series on YouTube covering the basics of 19TET, which you can check out here. I purchased a 19EDO guitar neck, so I'm really excited for that. I'll get so many people asking how it works.
• 22EDO - This tuning system is the first EDO to be consistent in the 11-odd-limit, which may sound strange to someone who has only listened to 12EDO, but is something the ear can get accustomed to very easily. As the syntonic comma is not tempered out, most songs written in 12EDO cannot be translated to 22EDO. This forces users to use other scales, such as porcupine, which has 7 notes, but instead of three major chords, three minor chords, and one diminished chord, it has two major chords, two minor chords, and three diminished chord! Just like 19EDO, it's a small tuning system and so it works great for guitar.
• 31EDO - This is another great tuning system. Just like 19EDO, the regular diatonic scale is preserved. In addition, 31-TET has good approximations of 7-limit and 11-limit intervals, such as 7/4 and 11/9. So you can play chords such as the neutral triad (18:22:27, you can even add another neutral third on top for the neutral seventh chord: 18:22:27:33) and 4:6:7:9:11. I'd love a guitar in this tuning as well.
• 72EDO - This tuning system is awesome. It's lower in relative error than any previous EDO in the 11-limit, and is uniquely consistent in the 11-odd-limit. It's also consistent in in the 17-limit. As it is a superset of 12EDO, you can play in all keys of 12EDO, with improved intervals. It's quite a lot of notes, so it won't work so well on a guitar. I'd say the only way 72EDO can be played practically is if multiple people play different instruments tuned differently from one another.
