m Fix a typo -- 12-edo has a *sharp* 5:4, not a flat one.
Line 3: Line 3:
The resulting range across six strings is 2250 cents -- close to the 2-octave spread on a 12-edo guitar in standard tuning.

72-edo approximates the 11-limit astoundingly well, and is quite good in higher limits too. 36-edo, by contrast, has a 5:4 that's 14 cents flat (identical to 12-edo's), and an 11:8 that's 15 cents sharp.

But whereas a 72-edo guitar would not be, a 36-edo guitar is playable. Neil Haverstick does it.
