===Approximations to Just Intonation===

Like [[17edo]], 34edo contains ~~workable~~ approximations of just intervals involving 13 and 3 -- specifically, 13/8, 13/12, 13/9 and their inversions -- while failing to closely approximate ratios of 7 or 11. 34edo adds ratios of 5 into the mix, including: 5/4, 6/5, 9/5, 15/8, 13/10, 15/13, 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 5-limit JI. It is not a [[meantone|meantone ]]system.

Like [[17edo]], 34edo contains good approximations of just intervals involving 13 and 3 -- specifically, 13/8, 13/12, 13/9 and their inversions -- while failing to closely approximate ratios of 7 or 11. 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, 17/18, 17/12, 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 5-limit JI. It is not a [[meantone|meantone ]]system.

//Viewed in light of Western diatonic theory, the three extra steps (of 34-et compared to 31-et) in effect widen the intervals between C and D, F and G, and A and B [that is: 6 5 3 6 5 6 3], thus making a distinction between major tones, ratio 9/8 and minor tones, ratio 10/9.// ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/34_equal_temperament|Wikipedia]])
