23edo is significant in that it is the last edo that has no [[5L 2s|diatonic]] perfect fifths and not even [[5edo]] or [[7edo]] fifths. It is also the last edo that fails to approximate the [[3/1|3rd]], [[5/1|5th]], [[7/1|7th]], and [[11/1|11th]] [[harmonic]]s within 20 cents, which makes it well-suited for musicians seeking to explore harmonic territory that is unusual even for the average microtonalist. Oddly, despite the fact that it fails to approximate these harmonics, it approximates the intervals between them ([[5/3]], [[7/3]], [[11/3]], [[7/5]], [[11/5]], [[11/7]]) and combinations of them ([[15/8]], [[21/16]], [[33/32]], [[35/32]], [[55/32]], [[77/64]]) very well. The lowest harmonics well-approximated by 23edo are [[9/1|9]], [[13/1|13]], [[15/1|15]], [[17/1|17]], [[21/1|21]], [[23/1|23]], [[31/1|31]], [[33/1|33]] and [[35/1|35]].

In this sense, it can be thought of as every other step of [[46edo]]. The lowest harmonics well-approximated by 23edo are [[9/1|9]], [[13/1|13]], [[15/1|15]], [[17/1|17]], [[21/1|21]], [[23/1|23]], [[31/1|31]], [[33/1|33]] and [[35/1|35]].

23edo was proposed by ethnomusicologist {{w|Erich von Hornbostel}} as the result of continuing a circle of "blown" fifths of ~678-cent fifths that (he argued) resulted from "overblowing" a bamboo pipe.
