10edo contains all the intervals of [[5edo]], but also adds another copy of it separated by 120 [[cent]]s. The new intervals have sizes of 120{{c}}, 360{{c}}, 600{{c}}, 840{{c}}, and 1080{{c}}. The 120{{c}} interval can be treated a small neutral second or large minor 2nd, and its inversion a large neutral seventh or small major 7th, with the 120{{c}} and 1080{{c}} intervals being close (about 0.6{{c}} off) to [[15/14]] and [[28/15]] respectively. The 360{{c}} interval is a large neutral third, being about 0.5{{c}} sharp of [[16/13]], with its inversion being equally close to [[13/8]]. Finally, the 600{{c}} ~~interva~~ is the tritone that appears in every even-numbered edo, including [[12edo]].

Finally, the 600{{c}} interval is the tritone that appears in every even-numbered edo, including [[12edo]].

Taking the the 360{{c}} large neutral third as a [[generator]] produces a heptatonic [[MOS scale|moment of symmetry scale]] with step sizes {{nowrap|2 1 1 2 1 2 1}} (pattern [[3L 4s]], or "mosh"), which is the most [[Diatonic scale|diatonic]]-like scale in 10edo excluding the 5edo [[collapsed]] diatonic scale, and can be seen as a [[neutralized]] diatonic scale.

Since the neutral third is very close to 16/13, 10edo is usable as a 2.3.5.7.13 temperament, which includes 5edo's representation of 2.3.7; however, it is not without high damage. For one, all of [[9/7]], [[13/10]], [[21/16]], and [[4/3]] are equated to a flat fourth (or an extremely sharp supermajor third), tempering out [[28/27]], [[40/39]], [[49/48]], [[64/63]], [[91/90]], and [[105/104]]. Also, 5-limit major and minor thirds are equated as mentioned before (tempering out 25/24), and the third is also equated to 16/13, tempering out 40/39 and [[65/64]]. Additionally, 5-limit augmented and diminished intervals are equated with nearby septimal intervals (tempering out [[225/224]]), and since 3/2 is tuned sharp and 5/4 is tuned flat, the syntonic comma is exaggerated to a full step, or 120{{c}}. More accurately, it can be seen as a 2.7.13.15 temperament, restricting the 3.5 subgroup to powers of 15.

By treating 360{{c}} as 11/9, we arrive at 11/8 = 600{{c}} (tempering out [[144/143]]), which allows 10edo to be treated as a full [[13-limit]] temperament. However, it is more accurate as a no-11 system.

By treating 360{{c}} as 11/9, we arrive at 11/8 = 600{{c}} (tempering out [[144/143]] and [[243/242]]), which allows 10edo to be treated as a full [[13-limit]] temperament. However, it is more accurate as a no-11 system.

10edo is a [[zeta peak edo]], due to its relatively decent tunings of the harmonics 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, and 17. 10edo is also the smallest edo that maintains [[minimal consistent EDOs|25% or lower relative error]] on all of the first eight harmonics of the [[harmonic series]].
