121edo has a distinctly sharp tendency, in that the odd [[harmonic]]s from 3 to 19 all have sharp tunings.

It also serves as the [[optimal patent val]] for 13-limit [[grendel]] temperament. It is [[consistent]] through to the [[19-odd-limit]] and uniquely consistent to the [[15-odd-limit]].

Because it tempers out 540/539 it allows [[swetismic chords]], because it tempers out 325/324 it allows [[marveltwin chords]], because it tempers out 640/637 it allows [[huntmic chords]], because it tempers out 352/351 it allows [[major minthmic chords]], because it tempers out 364/363 it allows [[minor minthmic chords]], because it tempers out 676/675 it allows [[island chords]] and because it tempers out 1575/1573 it allows [[nicolic chords]]. That makes for a very flexible system, and since this suite of commas defines 13-limit 121et, it is a system only associated with 121.

Since 121 factors into ~~{{factorization|121}}~~, 121edo contains [[11edo]] as its only nontrivial subset.

Since 121 factors into 11<sup>2</sup>, 121edo contains [[11edo]] as its only nontrivial subset.
