: '''ArrowHead''': For a while, 24 was the only microtonal tuning I ever knew about. It's very convenient as a microtonal tuning, since it's meantone and preserves all the familiar intervals of 12edo. The ability to use the 11th and 13th harmonics and their intervals (without 7) as consonances is a huge bonus. Also supports semaphore with alternating whole steps and quarter tones, allowing for tons of new progressions and modulatory possibilities. Unfortunately it's far from the ''best'' tuning to get into for introducing microtonality, since it doesn't do 7 well at all, though, and I've found that most Westerners consider the sound of 11/8 and 13/8 to be much weirder compared to 7/4.

: '''Aura''': This EDO served as my first personal foray into the world of microtonality. It is also from here that I learned what I ~~have~~ about the 11-limit.

: '''Bozu''': This is where almost everyone outside of the xenharmonic community sends their minds when you mention "microtonal music." It's used in traditional maqam music. I've personally used it myself a bit, but, in my opinion, what gets added to 12edo is fairly limited. It opens up a couple of new worlds of a few consonant intervals that play really well with familiar ones, and also some really skunky dissonant ones that drive the neighbours crazy. But it's definitely not what I recommend for beginning a journey into alternative tuning.

: '''Nicolai''': 12EDO, but fancy.
