62edo's [[patent val]] of 62edo is a contorted [[31edo]] through the 11-limit, but it makes for a good tuning in the higher limits. In the 13-limit it tempers out [[169/168]], [[1188/1183]], [[847/845]] and [[676/675]]; in the 17-limit [[221/220]], [[273/272]], and [[289/288]]; in the 19-limit [[153/152]], [[171/170]], [[209/208]], [[286/285]], and [[361/360]]. Unlike 31edo, which has a sharp profile for primes [[13/1|13]], [[17/1|17]], [[19/1|19]] and [[23/1|23]], 62edo has a flat profile for these, as it removes the distinction of otonal and utonal [[superparticular]] pairs of the primes (e.g. 13/12 vs 14/13 for prime 13) by tempering out the corresponding [[square-particular]]s. This flat tendency extends to higher primes too, as the first prime harmonic that is tuned sharper than its [[5/4]] is its [[59/32]]. Interestingly, the relative size differences of consecutive harmonics are well preserved for ~~all~~ first ~~24 harmonics~~, and 62edo is one of the few meantone edos ~~that~~ achieve this, great for those who seek higher-limit [[meantone]] harmony.
