87edo also shows some potential in limits beyond 13. The next four prime harmonics 17, 19, 23 and 29 are all near-critically sharp, but the feature of it is that the overtones and undertones are distinct, and most intervals are usable as long as they do not combine with 7, which is flat. Actually, as a no-sevens system, it is consistent in the 33-odd-limit.

87edo is a particularly good tuning for [[Gamelismic clan #Rodan|rodan temperament]]. The 8/7 generator of 17\87 is a remarkable 0.00062 cents sharper than the 13-limit [[POTE generator]] and is close to the [[11-limit]] POTE generator also. Also, the 32\87 generator for [[Kleismic family #Clyde|clyde temperament]] is 0.04455 cents sharp of the 7-limit POTE generator.
