While relatively uncommon, 33edo is actually quite an interesting system. As a multiple of [[11edo]], it approximates the 7th and 11th harmonics via Andrew Heathwaite's 4L+3s Orgone modes (see [[26edo]]). 33edo also tunes the 13th harmonic slightly flat, allowing it to approximate the 21st and 17th harmonics as well, having an [[3L 7s|3L+7s]] of L=4 s=3. It tunes the perfect fifth about 11 cents flat, to 19\33, so that two fifths down an octave, 5\33, the approximation of 9/8, is actually half a cent flat from 10/9. The &lt;33 52 76| or 33c val tempers out 81/80 and so leads to a very flat meantone tuning where the major tone is approximately 10/9 in size. Leaving the scale be would result in a flat-tone [[5L 2s|5L+2s]] of L=5 s=4

Instead of the flat 19\33 fifth you may use the sharp fifth of 20\33, over 25 cents sharp. Two of these lead to a 9/8 of 7\33, which is about 22/19 in size and may be counted as a small third. Between the flat 5\33 version of 9/8 and the sharp 7\33 version there is, of course, a 6\33 = 2\11 [[11edo]] interval of 218 cents. Now 6\33 + 5\33 = 11\33 = 1\3 of an octave, or 400 cents, the same major third as 12edo. Also, we have both a 327 minor third from 9\33 = 3/11, the same as the [[22edo]] minor third, and a flatter 8\33 third of 290 cents, which if you like could also be called a flat 19th harmonic, but much more accurately a 13/11 sharp by 1.7 cents. Another talent it has is that 7/5 is tuned quite accurately by 16\33, and we may put two 8\11 versions of 13/11 together to produce the [[cuthbert triad]]. So while it might not be the most harmonically accurate temperament, it's structurally quite interesting, and it approximates the full 19-limit consort in it's way. You could even say it tunes the 23rd and 29th harmonics ten cents flat if you were so inclined; as well as getting within two cents of the 37th.
