You'll see that intervals of 23edo come within 5 cents of 9/8; 3 cents of 23/16; 2 cents of 33/32, 21/16, 35/32, & 55/32; & 1 cent of 17/16, 79/64, & 117/64. Of course, it also has perfect unisons & octaves, by definition. This means we could potentially build a very strange (& slightly mistuned) harmonic chord which, reduced to within one octave, we could write as frequency ratios 64:66:68:70:72:79:84:92:110:117. I find this cluster a little hard to listen to, whether tuned to JI or 23edo, so I'd like to consider smaller chords, triads & tetrads, as a starting point.
