Stretched-23edo is one of the best tunings to use for exploring the [[antidiatonic]] scale since its fifth is more [[consonant]] and less "[[Wolf interval|wolfish]]" than fifths in other [[pelogic family]] temperaments.
Stretched-23edo is one of the best tunings to use for exploring the [[antidiatonic]] scale since its fifth is more [[consonant]] and less "[[Wolf interval|wolfish]]" than fifths in other [[pelogic family]] temperaments.
What follows is a comparison of compressed- and stretched-octave 23edo tunings.
; [[zpi|86zpi]]
* Step size: 51.653{{c}}, octave size: 1188.0{{c}}
* Approximates all harmonics <9 within 24.0{{c}}
Compressing the octave of 23edo by around 12{{c}} results in improved primes 5, 11 and 13, but worse primes 2, 3 and 7. The tuning 86zpi does this.

; [[60ed6]]
* Step size: 51.700{{c}}, octave size: 1189.1{{c}}
* Approximates all harmonics <9 within 21.8{{c}}
Compressing the octave of 23edo by around 11{{c}} results in improved primes 3, 5, 7 and 11, but a worse prime 2. The tuning 60ed6 does this. So does the tuning [[equal tuning|105ed23]] whose octave is identical within 0.01{{c}}.

* Approximates all harmonics <9 within 24.9{{c}}
Compressing the octave of 23edo by around 1.5{{c}} results in improved primes 7 and 11, but worse primes 2, 3, 5 and 13. The tuning 85zpi does this. So does the tuning [[ed9|73ed9]] whose octave is identical within 0.02{{c}}.
