While the [[17/1|17th harmonic]] is a cent and a half flat, the harmonics below it are all a little sharp, giving it the sound of a sharp system. Since {{nowrap|58 {{=}} 2 × 29}}, 58edo shares the same excellent perfect fifth with [[29edo]]. It is the last edo to have exactly one [[5L 2s|diatonic]] perfect fifth and no [[5edo]] or [[7edo]] fifths.

As an equal temperament, 58et tempers out [[2048/2025]] in the [[5-limit]]; [[126/125]], [[1728/1715]], and [[5120/5103]] in the [[7-limit]]; [[176/175]], [[243/242]], [[441/440]], [[540/539]], and [[896/891]] in the 11-limit; [[144/143]], [[351/350]], [[364/363]] in the 13-limit. It [[support]]s [[hemififths]], [[myna]], [[diaschismic]], [[harry]], [[mystery]], [[buzzard]], [[thuja]] [[regular temperament|temperament]]s plus a number of [[gravity family]] [[extension]]s, and supplies the [[optimal patent val]] for the 7-, 11- and 13-limit diaschismic, 11- and 13-limit hemififths, 11- and 13-limit thuja, and 13-limit myna. It also supplies the optimal patent val for the 13-limit rank-3 temperaments [[thrush]], [[bluebird]], [[aplonis]] and [[jofur]].

Of all edos which map the syntonic comma ([[81/80]]) to 1 step by patent val, 58edo is the one with the step size closest to 81/80, with one step of 58edo being less than 1{{cent}} narrower than the just interval.
