6 steps of this temperament is an extremely close approximation of 81:121, having only 0.3% relative error. 11 steps is obviously 81:169, so 81:121:169 is well approximated, which represents the approximate 2:3:4 created by overtones of chimes.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_tone#Tuning_a_bell Wikipedia | ''Strike tone'']</ref>
11 steps of this temperament is an extremely close approximation of 9<sup>2</sup>:13<sup>2</sup>, having only 0.5% relative error. 6 steps is exactly 9<sup>2</sup>:11<sup>2</sup> (since 3 steps is 9:11), so 9<sup>2</sup>:11<sup>2</sup>:13<sup>2</sup> (81:121:169) is well approximated, which represents the approximate 2:3:4 created by overtones of chimes.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_tone#Tuning_a_bell Wikipedia | ''Strike tone'']</ref>
 
9<sup>2</sup>:11<sup>2</sup>:13<sup>2</sup>:17<sup>2</sup>:23<sup>2</sup> is also very well approximated, as is 15<sup>2</sup>:19<sup>2</sup>:21<sup>2</sup>.
