34edo contains two [[17edo]]'s and the half-octave tritone of 600{{c}}. It excels in approximating harmonics 3, 5, 13, 17, and 23 (2.3.5.13.17.23 [[subgroup]] a.k.a. the no-7's no-11's no-19's 23-limit), with tuning even more accurate than [[31edo]] in the 5-limit, but with a sharp tendency and fifth rather than a flat one, and ''not'' tempering out [[81/80]] unlike 31edo. Its primes 7 and 11 are less accurate, but still usable (with the 34d val for prime 7) with a sharp tendency, in fact mapping all [[15-odd-limit]] intervals consistently except for 7/4 and 8/7 in the 34d val.

34edo's significance in regards to JI approximation comes from making many simple and natural equivalences between JI intervals. For example, a key characteristic of 34edo is that it splits the standard whole tone of [[9/8]] into six parts, such that three chromatic semitones of [[25/24]] or two diatonic semitones of [[16/15]] result in 9/8. Additionally, if you stack a five-step [[10/9]] interval four times, you reach the perfect fifth [[3/2]], supporting [[tetracot]]. This also means that the perfect fifth is mapped to 20 steps. Given that and the fact that the major third [[5/4]] is mapped to 11 steps, one can see that 34edo takes advantage of a natural logarithmic approximation of 5/4 as a portion of 3/2, or equivalently [[6/5]] as a portion of 5/4, resulting in [[gammic temperament]]. It also has the thirds from 17edo: "neogothic" minor and major thirds of about 282 and 424{{c}}, and a neutral third of 353{{c}}. For [[extraclassical tonality]], a tendo third of 459{{c}} and an arto third of 247{{c}} are also available, approximating 13/10 and 15/13 respectively.

34edo supports the [[diatonic scale]], both the simpler 5L 2s [[Moment-of-symmetry scale|moment-of-symmetry]] form and a more complex [[nicetone]] scale representing the [[zarlino]] diatonic. This can be extended into a 12-note chromatic scale of [[10L 2s]] by stacking the two different varieties of semitones, with an intuitive non-MOS form appearing at LLsLLLLLLsLL (created by first subdividing 34edo into the standard [[pentic]] scale and then splitting that into further smaller steps).

=== Ups and downs notation ===
=== Stein–Zimmermann–Gould notation ===
34edo can be notated with [[ups and downs]], spoken as up, dup, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, upflat etc. Note that dup is equivalent to dudsharp and dud is equivalent to dupflat.
[[Stein–Zimmermann–Gould notation]] uses sharps and flats combined with quartertone accidentals and arrows:
{{Sharpness-sharp4-szg}}
 
=== Kite's ups and downs notation ===
34edo can also be notated with [[Kite's ups and downs notation|Kite's ups and downs]], spoken as up, dup, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, upflat etc. Note that dup is equivalent to dudsharp and dud is equivalent to dupflat.

[[Alternative symbols for ups and downs notation]] uses sharps and flats with arrows, borrowed from extended [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]]:
