For both of these there are more optimal tunings, however. The generating interval for meantone is a fifth, and the fifth of 19-et is flatter than the usual for meantone; a more accurate approximation is &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/31edo"&gt;31 equal temperament&lt;/a&gt;. Similarly, the generating interval of magic temperament is a major third, and again 19-et's is flatter; &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/41edo"&gt;41 equal temperament&lt;/a&gt; more closely matches it.&lt;br /&gt;

However, for all of these 19-et has the practical advantage of requiring fewer pitches, which makes physical realizations of it easier to build. (Many 19-et instruments have been built.) 19-et is in fact the second equal temperament, after 12-et which is able to deal with &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/Harmonic%20Limit"&gt;5-limit&lt;/a&gt; music in a tolerable manner, and is the fifth (after 12) Zeta function integral tuning, &lt;!-- ws:start:WikiTextUrlRule:310:http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A117538 --&gt;&lt;a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A117538" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A117538&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- ws:end:WikiTextUrlRule:310 --&gt;. It is less successful with 7-limit (but still better than 12-et), as it eliminates the distinction between a septimal minor third (7/6), and a septimal whole tone (8/7).&lt;br /&gt;
