Its approximations to [[7/4]] and [[11/8]] are noticeably sharp, whereas the [[13/8]] is a little flat. Except for 9/7, 11/9, 14/9, and 18/11, all [[15-odd-limit]] intervals have [[consistent]] approximations in 43edo, making it an excellent tuning in the [[7-limit|7-]], [[11-limit|11-]], and [[13-limit]].
