Although the full scale is a bit much, pieces of it are nice. Trientonal melodies with movements of a single fret are quite novel and pleasant. 59¢ is just barely large enough to sound like a 2nd and not a quartertone. Any of the 5, 7, and 10-note scales can be spiced up with fretwise movement.

The trientonal scale is also useful as a way to transfer pieces written in 19edo to the Kite guitar. This would almost be equivalent to transcribing these pieces in tablature for a 19edo guitar tuned in major thirds, and interpreting such tablature on the Kite guitar.

One can make a scale that's not very even, but still quite interesting, by using a smaller MOS, for example 13. This scale is 3 fretwise runs separated by 3 major 2nds.

===Microtonal scales===

These scales use step sizes of 1 and 2 edosteps only. They are quite awkward to play, with much string-hopping and fret-leaping~~. If~~ there are only 3 small steps, it is a 22-note MOS or MODMOS of Laquinyo.

These scales use step sizes of 1 and 2 edosteps only. They are quite awkward to play, with much string-hopping and fret-leaping, unless there are only 3 small steps, in which case it is a 22-note MOS or MODMOS of the Laquinyo temperament.
