=== Prime harmonics ===

Although not [[consistent]], it performs quite well in very high prime limits. It has unambiguous mappings for all prime harmonics up to ''113'', with the sole exceptions of 23, 71, 89, and 103, making a great [[#Ringer 43|Ringer scale]]. Mappings for ratios between these prime harmonics can then be derived from those for the primes themselves, allowing for a complete set of approximations to the first 16 harmonics in the harmonic series and an almost-complete approximation of the first 32 harmonics, although the limited consistency will give some unusual results. Indeed, one step of 43edo is very close to the [[64/63|septimal comma (64/63)]]; ~~similarily~~, two steps is close to [[32/31]], and four steps tunes [[16/15]] almost perfectly.

43edo has less than 35% relative error (less than 10 cents error) on an impressive 17 of the 19 prime harmonics in the [[67-limit]]. The only ones it misses are 23 and 41. So it can be used as a solid full [[19-limit]] tuning, or as a solid no-23-or-41 67-limit tuning.

It approximates harmonics 31, 37 and 61 close to exactly - within less than a cent (less than 3% relative error). It approximates 3, 13, 43, 53 and 61 slightly flat. It approximates 5, 7, 11, 17, 19, 29, 47, 59 and 67 slightly sharp. Overall this gives 43edo a slightly sharp tendency/feeling, though with the major exception of harmonic 3 (the perfect fifth).
