+The McClain toy piano tuning can be closely approximated using a [[heptatonic]] subset of [[31edo]], repeating on the 30\31 (30th degree of 31edo).
+This reminded McClain of the 31edo double Lydian scale, described by [[Zhea Erose]].
+McClain was then inspired to describe the double Phrygian scale - the McClain toy piano tuning tempered to 31edo - along with the entire family of [[Erose-McClain double mode]]s.

+The entire width of McClain's toy piano tuning (1950 cents) is almost exactly [[11/2]] (1951 cents).
+This lends itself to the use of [[ed11/2]] tunings to approximate it.
