27edo, with its 400 cent major third, tempers out the lesser diesis, [[128/125]], and the septimal comma, [[64/63]], and hence [[126/125]] as well. These it shares with 12edo, making some relationships familiar, and they both support the [[augene]] temperament. It shares with [[22edo]] tempering out the allegedly Bohlen-Pierce comma [[245/243]] as well as 64/63, so that they both support the [[superpyth]] temperament, with four quite sharp "superpythagorean" fifths giving a sharp [[9/7]] in place of meantone's 5/4.

Though 27edo's [[7-limit]] tuning is not highly accurate, it nonetheless is the smallest equal division to represent the 7-odd-limit both [[consistent]]ly and distinctly that is, everything in the [[7-odd-limit]] diamond is uniquely represented by a certain number of steps of 27edo. It also represents the 13th harmonic very well, and performs quite decently as a 2.3.5.7.13.19 (no-11s, no-17s 19-limit) temperament. It also approximates [[19/10]], [[19/12]], and [[19/14]], so {{dash|0, 7, 13, 25|med}} does quite well as a 10:12:14:19 chord, with the major seventh 25\27 being less than one cent off from 19/10. Octave-inverted, these also form a quite convincing approximation of the main Bohlen-Pierce triad, 3:5:7, and a passable approximation of 5:7:9, making 27 the smallest edo that can simulate tritave harmony, although it rapidly becomes rough if extended to the 11 and above, unlike a true tritave based system.

Its step, as well as the octave-inverted and octave-equivalent versions of it, has some of the highest [[harmonic entropy]] possible and thus is, in theory, one of the most dissonant intervals possible, assuming the relatively common values of {{nowrap|''a'' {{=}} 2}} and {{nowrap|''s'' {{=}} 1%}}. This property is shared with all edos between around 24 and 30. Intervals smaller than this tend to be perceived as unison and are more consonant as a result; intervals larger than this have less "tension" and thus are also more consonant.
