10edo can be thought of as two circles of [[5edo]] separated by 120 cents (or 5 circles of [[2edo]]). It adds to 5edo a small neutral second (or large minor 2nd) and its inversion a large neutral seventh (or small major 7th); an excellent approximation of [[13/8]] and its inversion [[16/13]]; and the familiar 600-cent tritone that appears in every even-numbered edo.

Taking the the 360 cent large neutral third as a [[generator]] produces a heptatonic [[MOS scales|moment of symmetry scale]] of the form {{nowrap|1 2 1 2 1 2 1}} ([[3L 4s]], or "mosh"), which is the most [[Diatonic scale|diatonic]]-like scale in 10edo excluding the 5edo degenerate diatonic scale.

While not an integral or gap edo, 10edo is a [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #Zeta edo lists|zeta peak edo]]. 10edo is also the smallest edo that maintains [[minimal consistent EDOs|25% or lower relative error]] on all of the first eight harmonics of the [[harmonic series]].

10edo lends itself exceptionally well to guitar (and other fretted strings), on account of the fact that five of its flat 4ths (at 480 cents) exactly spans two octaves (480 × 5 = 2400), meaning the open strings can be uniformly tuned in 4ths. This allows for greater uniformity in chord and scale fingering patterns than in 12edo, making it exceptionally easy to learn. For instance, the fingering for an "E" chord would be 0-2-2-1-0-0 (low to high), an "A" chord would be 0-0-2-2-1-0, and a "D" chord would be 1-0-0-2-2-1. This is also the case in all edos which are multiples of 5, but in 10-edo it is particularly simple.

This allows for greater uniformity in chord and scale fingering patterns than in 12edo, making it exceptionally easy to learn. For instance, the fingering for an "E" chord would be {{dash|0, 2, 2, 1, 0, 0}} (low to high), an "A" chord would be {{dash|0, 0, 2, 2, 1, 0}}, and a "D" chord would be {{nowrap|1, 0, 0, 2, 2, 1}}. This is also the case in all edos which are multiples of 5, but in 10-edo it is particularly simple.


Retuning a conventional keyboard to 10edo may be done in many ways, but neglecting or making redundant the Eb and Ab keys preserves the sLsLsLs scale on the white keys. Redundancy may make modulation easier, but another option is tuning the superfluous keys to selections from [[20edo|20edo]] which approximates the 11th harmonic with relative accuracy, among other features.
