8edo - kind of a cool diminished scale, but it suffers from the same problems as other drone-like edo's, in terms of options and constraints. | 8edo - kind of a cool diminished scale, but it suffers from the same problems as other drone-like edo's, in terms of options and constraints. | ||

9edo - 3rd order augmented scale. I want to like this tuning, but I can't see any value in it beyond noodling. | 9edo - 3rd order augmented scale. I want to like this tuning, but I can't see any value in it beyond noodling. | ||

30edo - Hyperpent. Augmented. Meh, too many seemingly useless intervals. | 30edo - Hyperpent. Augmented. Meh, too many seemingly useless intervals. | ||

31edo - This is sort of the gold standard of meantone tuning. Composite hypopent. Great thirds and fifths and everything else used to make western-esque music, and also some really nifty other spicier options. Very user-friendly. If you start with 12edo and go to 19edo and like it, this would be the obvious next recommendation. My only complaint here is that we are starting to get into the territory of having too many notes to easily perform on a guitar or standard black-and-white-key two row keyboard. Going with subsets at this point is beneficial, but those provide new challenges. | 31edo - This is sort of the gold standard of meantone tuning. Composite hypopent.

53edo - Generally the stopping point. If you are comfortable with >50 tones, then this tuning offers almost everything you will need. If not, stick with 31edo or something smaller. | 53edo - Generally the stopping point. If you are comfortable with >50 tones, then this tuning offers almost everything you will need.

59edo - Seems to have some interesting options, but it's a lot of notes, and other neighbouring edo's can do some more versatile things. | 59edo - Seems to have some interesting options, but it's a lot of notes, and other neighbouring edo's can do some more versatile things. | ||
