* 0-5-10 (another kind of "neutral", splitting the fourth in two. The 0-5-10 can be extended into a pentatonic scale, 0-5-10-14-19-24 ([[godzilla]]), that is close to equi-pentatonic and also close to several Indonesian slêndros. In a similar way 0-7-14 extends to 0-4-7-11-14-18-21-24 ([[mohajira]]), a heptatonic scale close to several Arabic scales.)

The ever-arising question in microtonal music, how to play it on instruments designed for 12edo, has a relatively simple answer in the case of 24edo: use two standard instruments tuned a quartertone apart. This [[Microtonal_Keyboards#twelvenoteoctavescales|"12 note octave scales"]] approach is used in a wide part of the existing literature - see below.

However, while playable, these do make playing ordinary chords and navigating the fretboard significantly more challenging. More common is the "Sazocaster" tuning popularised by Australian band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, which adds quartertones between approximately half the regular frets. Multiple guitar companies have produced variants of this, including Eastwood and Revelation.
