== Intervals ==
13ed8/3 can be thought of as a 2.12.15.7.11.13.19 [[subgroup]] tuning. It has under 22% [[relative error]] (under 29{{c}} abs. error) on each of those [[harmonic]]s, which is comparable to [[12edo]]'s approximation of the full [[7-limit]].

== Related tunings ==
13ed8/3 is a bit like [[9edo]] but with extreme [[octave shrinking]] (the octave is about 24 [[cents]] flat). As a [[23-limit]] equal [[temperament]], 13ed8/3 could be considered a tuning for 9bdefhi (''see [[wart]]s'').
13ed8/3 is quite close to [[23zpi]] (''see [[ZPI]]'') but 13ed8/3 has a much better [[2/1]] than 23zpi, at the expense of most other [[prime]]s being a little worse than 23zpi.
13ed8/3 is identical (octave less than 1{{c}} different) to ''every second step of'' [[62zpi]] (''see [[ZPI]]'').
