Theory

87edo is solid as both a 13-limit (or 15-odd-limit) and as a 5-limit system, and does well enough in any limit in between. It is the smallest edo that is distinctly consistent in the 13-odd-limit tonality diamond, the smallest edo that is purely consistent[idiosyncratic term] in the 15-odd-limit (meaning no greater than 25% relative interval errors on all of the first 16 harmonics of the harmonic series). It is also a zeta peak integer edo.

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.

The equal temperament tempers out 15625/15552 (kleisma), [26 -12 -3⟩ (misty comma), and [46 -29⟩ (29-comma) in the 5-limit, in addition to 245/243, 1029/1024, 3136/3125, and 5120/5103 in the 7-limit. In the 13-limit, notably 196/195, 325/324, 352/351, 364/363, 385/384, 441/440, 625/624, 676/675, and 1001/1000.

87edo is a particularly good tuning for rodan, the 41 & 46 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 clyde temperament is 0.04455 cents sharp of the 7-limit POTE generator.

Prime harmonics

In higher limits it excels as a subgroup temperament, especially as an incomplete 71-limit temperament with 128/127 and 129/128 (the subharmonic and harmonic hemicomma-sized intervals, respectively) mapped accurately to a single step. Generalizing a single step of 87edo harmonically yields harmonics 115 through 138, which when detempered is the beginning of the construction of Ringer 87, thus tempering S116 through S137 by patent val and corresponding to the gravity of the fact that 87edo is a circle of 126/125's, meaning (126/125)87 only very slightly exceeds the octave.
