=== Octave stretch ===
17edo's approximations of harmonics 3, 7, 11, and 13 are all tempered sharp, so 17edo adapts well to slightly [[stretched and compressed tuning|compressing the octave]], if that is acceptable. [[27edt]] and [[44ed6]] are great demonstrations of this, where the octaves are flattened by about 2.5 and 1.5 cents, respectively.
