[[41-edo|41-equal]] approximates just intonation very closely. Prime 3 is extremely accurate, and primes 5 and 7 are both flat, which means their errors partially cancel out in ratios such as 7/5. Unfortunately prime 11 is sharp, so the errors add up, and 11/10 is nearly 11¢ sharp.

This chart shows 41-equal in terms of 12-equal. "-ish" means ±1 edostep. The 12 categories circled in red correspond to the notes of 12-equal. The two innermost and two outermost intervals are duplicates. [[File:41-edo_spiral.png|left|thumb|400x400px]] [[File:41-edo_spiral_with_notes.png|center|thumb|400x400px]]
These charts show the intervals and the notes of the conventional 12-equal (or 12-edo) tuning as a circle of 5ths.

These charts show 41-equal in terms of 12-equal. The circle of fifths becomes a spiral. "-ish" means ±1 edostep. The 12 categories circled in red correspond to the notes of 12-equal. The two innermost and two outermost intervals are duplicates. [[File:41-edo_spiral.png|left|thumb|400x400px]] [[File:41-edo_spiral_with_notes.png|center|thumb|400x400px]]
