Composers that used 72-tone include Alois Hába, Ivan Wyschnegradsky, Julián Carillo (who is better associated with [[96edo|96-edo]]), Iannis Xenakis, Ezra Sims, James Tenney and the jazz musician Joe Maneri.

72-tone equal temperament approximates 11-limit [[JustIntonation|just intonation]] exceptionally well. The octave, fifth and fourth are the same size as they would be in 12-tone, 72, 42 and 30 steps respectively, but the major third (5/4) measures 23 steps, not 24, and other major intervals are one step flat of 12-et while minor ones are one step sharp. The septimal minor seventh (7/4) is 58 steps, while the undecimal semiaugmented fourth (11/8) is 33.
72-tone equal temperament approximates 11-limit [[JustIntonation|just intonation]] exceptionally well, and is the ninth [[http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A117538|Zeta integral tuning]].

72 is an excellent tuning for [[Gamelismic clan|miracle temperament]], especially the 11-limit version, and the related rank three temperament prodigy. 72 is the ninth [[http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A117538|Zeta integral tuning]], and is a good tuning for other temperaments and scales, including wizard, harry, catakleismic, compton, unidec and tritikleismic.
