*[[0edo|0]]: A fancy way to say “pitchless”.
*[[0edo|0]]: A fancy way to say “pitchless”. The only tuning of the [[Single-pitch tuning|Om]] temperament. Important in theory, useless in practice.
*[[1edo|1]]: Equivalent to [[2-limit]] JI. Not much about harmony. Possibly useful for a transition between different tunings.

*[[38edo|38]]: 19edo with neutrals. Near pure [[11/9]]. The acceptable error of 19edo really becomes a problem at this size.

*[[41edo|41]]: Prime octave and highly composite fifth, opposite from [[12edo]], thus good for fifth-dividing temperaments. Good for [[magic]]. The [[Kite guitar]] shows its elegance, with many simple intervals equidistantly spaced. Also good [[garibaldi]] and [[neutral]].

The [[Kite guitar]] shows its elegance, with many simple intervals equidistantly spaced. I have no idea how other similar-sized EDOs (namely 53 and 72) can be applied on a fretted string instrument. Also good [[garibaldi]] and [[neutral]].
