== Approximations to Just Intonation ==
== JI approximation ==
Like [[17edo]], 34edo contains good approximations of just intervals involving 13, 11, and 3 – specifically, 13/8, 13/12, 13/11, 13/9, 11/9 and their inversions – while failing to closely approximate ratios of 7. 34edo adds ratios of 5 into the mix – including 5/4, 6/5, 9/5, 15/8, 13/10, 15/13, and their inversions – as well as 17 – including 17/16, 18/17, 17/12, 17/11, 17/10, 17/13, 17/15 and their inversions. Since it distinguishes between 9/8 and 10/9 (exaggerating the difference between them, the "syntonic comma" of 81/80, from 21.5 cents to 35.3 cents), it is suitable for quasi-5-limit JI but is not a [[meantone]] system. While no number of fifths (frequently ratios of ~3:2) land on major or minor thirds, an even number of major or minor thirds will be the same pitch as a pitch somewhere in the circle of seventeen fifths.

=== Temperament measures ===
== Tuning by ear ==
The following table shows [[TE temperament measures]] (RMS normalized by the rank) of 34et.  
In principle, one can approximate 34edo by ear using only 5-limit intervals, using the fact that 17edo is very close to a circle of seventeen [[25/24]] chromatic semitones to within 1.5 cents, and using a pure 5/4 which is less than 2 cents off for the second chain. The overall tuning error, assuming everything is tuned perfectly, will be less than 3.5 cents, or a relative error of less than 10%.


Note: the 34d val is used for lower error.  
== 34edo and logarithmic phi ==
{| class="wikitable center-all"
As a Fibonacci number, 34edo contains a fraction of an octave which is a close approximation to the logarithmic phi – 21 degrees of 34edo, approximately 741.2 cents. Repeated iterations of this interval generates [[MOSScales|Moment of Symmetry]] scales with near-phi relationships between the step sizes. As a 2.3.5.13 temperament, the 21\34 generator is an approximate 20/13, and the temperament tempers out 512/507 and {{monzo|-6 2 6 0 0 -13}}. From the tempering of 512/507, two 16/13 neutral thirds are an approximate 3/2, defining an essentially tempered neutral triad with a sharp rather than a flat fifth. (On the other hand, the frequency ratio phi is ~ 833 cents, and the equal divisions of octave approximating this interval closely are 13edo and [[36edo]].)

* 34et has a lower relative error than any previous ETs in the 5-limit. The next ET that does better in this subgroup is 53.  
In the 5-limit, 34edo supports [[hanson]], [[srutal]], [[tetracot]], [[würschmidt]] and [[vishnu]] temperaments. It does less well in the [[7-limit]], with two mappings possible for [[7/4]]: a flat one from the [[patent val]], and a sharp one from the 34d val. By way of the patent val 34 supports [[keemun]] temperament, and 34d is an excellent alternative to [[22edo]] for 7-limit [[pajara]] temperament. In the [[11-limit]], 34de supports 11-limit [[pajaric]], and in fact is quite close to the [[POTE tuning]]; it adds [[4375/4374]] to the commas of 11-limit pajaric. On the other hand, the 34d val supports pajara, vishnu and würschmidt, adding 4375/4374 to the commas of pajara. Among subgroup temperaments, the patent val supports [[semaphore]] on the 2.3.7 subgroup.  
* 34et is most prominent in the 2.3.5.13.17 and 2.3.5.11.13.17 subgroups. The next ET that does better in these subgroups is 217 and 87, respectively.

== 34edo as a regular temperament ==
In the 5-limit, 34edo supports [[hanson]], [[srutal]], [[tetracot]], [[würschmidt]] and [[vishnu]] temperaments. It does less well in the [[7-limit]], with two mappings possible for [[7/4]]: a flat one from the [[patent val]], and a sharp one from the 34d val. By way of the patent val 34 supports [[keemun]] temperament, and 34d is an excellent alternative to [[22edo]] for 7-limit [[pajara]] temperament. In the [[11-limit]], 34de supports 11-limit [[pajaric]], and in fact is quite close to the [[POTE tuning]]; it adds [[4375/4374]] to the commas of 11-limit pajaric.

Among subgroup temperaments, the patent val supports [[semaphore]] on the 2.3.7 subgroup.
