Although not [[consistent]], 43edo performs quite well in very high prime limits. It has unambiguous mappings for all prime harmonics up to ''113'' (after which the demands on its pitch resolution finally become too great), 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)]]; similarly, two steps is close to [[32/31]], and four steps tunes [[16/15]] almost perfectly. | Although not [[consistent]], 43edo performs quite well in very high prime limits.
