Since the harmonics whose intervals it approximates well (3, 5, 7, 13, and 19) are all tuned sharp of just, 27edo is a prime candidate for [[stretched and compressed tuning|octave compression]]. The local zeta peak around 27 is at 27.086614, which corresponds to a step size of 44.3023{{c}}. More generally, narrowing the steps to between 44.2 and 44.35{{c}} would be better in theory; [[43edt]], [[70ed6]], [[90ed10]] and [[97ed12]]<ref group="note">Note that [[97ed12]] gives a poorer approximation of the local zeta peak than [[70ed6]], [[76ed7]], or [[90ed10]].</ref> are good options if octave compression is acceptable, and these narrow the octaves by 5.75, 3.53, and 2.55{{c}}, respectively.
