One notable property of 53EDO is that it offers good approximations for both pure and pythagorean major thirds. | One notable property of 53EDO is that it offers good approximations for both pure and pythagorean major thirds. | ||
The perfect fifth is almost perfectly equal to the just interval 3/2, with only a 0.07 cent difference! 53EDO can be considered an extended Pythagorean tuning using the notes | The perfect fifth is almost perfectly equal to the just interval 3/2, with only a 0.07 cent difference! 53EDO can be considered an extended Pythagorean tuning using the notes. The 14- and 17- degree intervals are also very close to 6/5 and 5/4 respectively, and so 5-limit tuning can also be closely approximated. The 43-degree interval is only 4.8 cents away from the just ratio 7/4, so 53EDO can also be used for 7-limit harmony, tempering out the [[septimal kleisma]], 225/224. | ||
