The [[harmonic]]s [[3/1|3]], [[5/1|5]] and [[7/1|7]] for 91edo are on the flat side, making this a mostly flat system. It [[tempers out]] [[15625/15552]] in the 5-limit, [[225/224]] and [[4375/4374]] in the 7-limit, [[245/242]], [[385/384]] in the 11-limit, and [[105/104]], [[144/143]], [[196/195]] in the 13-limit. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for 11- and 13-limit [[septimin]] temperament, and the 13-limit rank-3 [[tripod]] temperament, as well as the 11-limit rank-4 temperament tempering out 245/242 and the 13-limit rank-5 temperament tempering out 105/104, or rank-4 tempering out 105/104 and 144/143, or else 105/104 and 196/195 and hence 225/224 also.

Using the 91c val, it is audibly indistinguishable from a closed system of [[1/7-comma meantone]], with a 5th only 0.018 cents sharper. The chromatic semitone in this scale corresponds to 135/128, the [[eigenmonzo]] (unchanged-interval) of [[1/7-comma meantone]]. Being 7 steps, what is also remarkable is that in this instance the chromatic semitone is equal to one step of [[13edo]]. Since 135/128 is also equal to 1/13 of the octave, the 91c [[val]] tempers out the [[aluminium comma]] in the 5-limit.

91 is the smallest composite number whose composite character is not immediately evident in the decimal system; it is, in fact, the product of 7 and 13. As such, 91edo contains [[7edo]] and [[13edo]] as subsets.
