It is the smallest [[edo]] which is [[consistent]] through the [[17-odd-limit]], and is also the smallest uniquely consistent in the [[11-odd-limit]] (the first equal temperament to map the entire 11-limit [[tonality diamond]] to distinct scale steps), and hence the first et which can define a version of the famous 43-note [[Harry Partch related scales|Genesis scale]] of [[Harry Partch]]. It supports [[hemififths]], [[myna]], [[diaschismic]], [[harry]], [[mystery]], [[buzzard]] and [[thuja]] [[Regular temperament|temperament]]s, and supplies the [[optimal patent val]] for 7-, 11- and 13-limit diaschismic, 11- and 13-limit hemififths, 11- and 13-limit thuja, and 13-limit myna. It also supplies the optimal patent val for the 13-limit rank-3 temperaments [[thrush]], [[bluebird]], [[aplonis]] and [[jofur]].

While the 17th harmonic is a cent and a half flat, the harmonics below it are all a little sharp, giving it the sound of a sharp system. 58 = 2 × 29, and 58 shares the same excellent fifth with [[29edo]].
