If octaves are kept pure, 27edo divides the [[octave]] in 27 equal parts each exactly 44.444... [[cent]]s in size. However, 27 is a prime candidate for [[octave shrinking]], and a step size of 44.3 to 44.35 cents would be reasonable. The reason for this is that 27edo tunes the [[5_4|third]], [[3_2|fifth]] and [[7_4|7/4]] sharply.

Its step, as well as the octave-inverted and octave-equivalent versions of it, holds the distinction for having around the highest [[harmonic entropy]] possible and thus is, in theory, most dissonant. This property is shared with all edos between around 24 and 30. Intervals smaller than this tend to be perceived as unison are are more consonant as a result; intervals larger than this have less "tension" and thus are also more consonant.

Assuming however pure octaves, 27 has a fifth sharp by slightly more than nine cents and a 7/4 sharp by slightly less, and the same 400 cent major third as [[12edo]], sharp 13 2/3 cents. The result is that [[6_5|6/5]], [[7_5|7/5]] and especially [[7_6|7/6]] are all tuned more accurately than this.
