While 38ed7/3 fails to accurately represent low primes, it provides great approximations of the 13th, 17th, 19th, and a multitude of higher prime harmonics, and also handles the interval of [[5/3]] well. But 38ed7/3 should, most of all, be noted for the exceptional quality of its approximation to [[11/9]], which is a mere 0.0088 cents off from just. Its natural subgroup in the [[19-limit]] is 7/3.5/3.11/9.13.17.19, but this can extend to include higher primes, especially 29, 31, and 37. | While 38ed7/3 fails to accurately represent low primes, it provides great approximations of the 13th, 17th, 19th, and a multitude of higher prime harmonics, and also handles the interval of [[5/3]] well.

38ed7/3 possesses a shimmering octave at 31 steps in, therefore making this a potential octave stretch of [[31edo]], one that sacrifices its notable accuracy in the [[7-limit]] in favor of a huge number of high primes. | 38ed7/3 possesses a shimmering octave at 31 steps in, therefore making this a potential octave stretch of [[31edo]], one that sacrifices its notable accuracy in the [[7-limit]] (though a number of 7-limit intervals are still portrayed passably due to the common flat tendency of harmonics 2, 3, 5, and 7) in favor of a huge number of high primes. | ||
