While the [[17/1|17th harmonic]] is a cent and a half flat, the harmonics below it are all a little sharp, giving it the sound of a sharp system. Since {{nowrap|58 {{=}} 2 × 29}}, 58edo shares the same excellent perfect fifth with [[29edo]]. It is the last edo to have exactly one [[5L 2s|diatonic]] perfect fifth and no [[5edo]] or [[7edo]] fifths.

The [[19/1|19th]] and [[23/1|23rd]] harmonics are very flat, so it makes sense to use their second-best approximations in the 58hi val. This val is, in fact, one of the first to be [[diamond monotone]] in the 23-odd-limit, past the idiosyncratic 53e val. However, its accuracy is questionable, with primes 19 and 23 being about 13 cents sharp, so one may want to use a larger system like [[62edo]] for the 23-limit instead, which has the added benefit of being meantone.

=== Ups and downs notation ===
=== Stein–Zimmermann–Gould notation ===
58edo can be notated with ups and downs, spoken as up, dup, trup, dudsharp, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, trud, dupflat etc.
[[Stein–Zimmermann–Gould notation]] for 58edo uses sharps and flats combined with quartertone accidentals and arrows:
{{Sharpness-sharp6a}}
{{Sharpness-sharp6-szg}}


Half-sharps and half-flats can be used to avoid triple arrows:
If double arrows are not desirable, then arrows can be attached to quartertone accidentals:
{{Sharpness-sharp6b}}
{{Sharpness-sharp6-qt-szg}}


Alternatively, a combination of quarter tone accidentals and arrow accidentals from [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]] can be used.
=== Kite's ups and downs notation ===
{{Sharpness-sharp6}}
58edo can also be notated with [[Kite's ups and downs notation|Kite's ups and downs]], spoken as up, dup, trup, dudsharp, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, trud, dupflat etc.  
{{Ups and downs sharpness}}


If double arrows are not desirable, then arrows can be attached to quarter-tone accidentals:
Half-sharps and half-flats can be used to avoid triple arrows:
{{Sharpness-sharp6-qt}}
{{Ups and downs sharpness|58|true}}

Since a sharp raises by six steps, Wyschnegradsky accidentals borrowed from [[72edo]] can also be used:

58et can also be detempered to [[semihemi]] ({{nowrap| 58 & 140 }}), [[supers]] ({{nowrap| 58 & 152 }}), [[condor]] ({{nowrap| 58 & 159 }}), and [[eagle]] ({{nowrap| 58 & 212 }}).
