It has often been stated that 7edo approximates tunings used in [[Thai]] classical music, though this is a myth unsupported by [[empirical]] studies of the instruments.<ref>Garzoli, John. [http://iftawm.org/journal/oldsite/articles/2015b/Garzoli_AAWM_Vol_4_2.pdf ''The Myth of Equidistance in Thai Tuning.'']</ref>

=== Octave stretch ===
[[Stretched and compressed tuning|Stretched-octaves]] tunings such as [[11edt]], [[18ed6]] or [[Ed257/128 #7ed257/128|7ed257/128]] greatly improves 7edo's approximation of harmonics 3, 5 and 11, at the cost of slightly worsening 2 and 7, and greatly worsening 13. If one is hoping to use 7edo for [[11-limit]] harmonies, then these are good choices to make that easier.
The stretched 7edo tuning [[zpi|15zpi]] can also be used to improve 7edo's approximation of JI in a similar way.

3/7 is on the intersection of [[meantone]] and [[mavila]], and has MOS's of 331 and 21211, making 7edo the first edo with a non-equalized, non-1L''n''s [[pentatonic]] mos. This is in part because 7edo is close to low-complexity JI for its size, and is the second edo with a good fifth for its size (after [[5edo]]), the fifth serving as a generator for the edo's meantone and mavila interpertations.
