31edo approximates Mode 8 of the [[harmonic series]] okay, but many intervals between the harmonics aren't distinguished, most importantly 9/8 (major tone) and 10/9 (minor tone), as 31EDO is a meantone temperament. The interval between the 8th and 11th harmonics is approximated okay, but the intervals between the 11th harmonic and closer harmonics such as the 12th and 9th harmonics are approximated much better. | 31edo approximates Mode 8 of the [[harmonic series]] okay, but many intervals between the harmonics aren't distinguished, most importantly 9/8 (major tone) and 10/9 (minor tone), as 31EDO is a meantone temperament.
