26edo has a [[3/2|perfect fifth]] of about 692 cents and [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[81/80]] in the [[5-limit]], making it a very flat [[meantone]] tuning (0.088957{{c}} flat of the [[4/9-comma meantone]] fifth) with a very soft [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]]. | 26edo has a [[3/2|perfect fifth]] of about 692 cents and [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[81/80]] in the [[5-limit]], making it a very flat [[meantone]] tuning (0.088957{{c}} flat of the [[4/9-comma meantone]] fifth) with a very soft [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]]. | ||

It really comes into its own as a higher-limit temperament, being the smallest equal division which represents the [[13-odd-limit]] [[consistent]]ly. 26edo has a very good approximation of the harmonic seventh ([[7/4]]), as it is the denominator of a convergent to log<sub>2</sub>7. | ||
