72edo approximates [[11-limit]] [[just intonation]] exceptionally well, is [[consistent]] in the [[~~17-limit|~~17-odd-limit]], is the first [[Trivial temperament|non-trivial]] EDO to be consistent in the 12- and 13-[[Odd prime sum limit|odd-prime-sum-limit]], and is the ninth [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning #Zeta EDO lists|zeta integral tuning]]. The octave, fifth and fourth are the same size as they would be in 12edo, 72, 42 and 30 steps respectively, but the classic major third ([[5/4]]) measures 23 steps, not 24, and other [[5-limit]] major intervals are one step flat of 12edo 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.

72edo is an excellent tuning for the [[miracle]] temperament, especially the 11-limit version, and the related rank-3 temperament [[prodigy]], and is a good tuning for other temperaments and scales, including [[wizard]], [[harry]], [[catakleismic]], [[compton]], [[unidec]] and [[tritikleismic]].
