39edo's approximations of harmonics 3, 5, 7 and 13 can all be improved by slightly [[octave shrinking|compressing the octave]], to get a tuning like [[62edt]].
39edo is a [[zeta valley edo]] and is generally poor at approximating primes for its size. Nevertheless, its approximations of harmonics 3, 5, 7, and 13 can all be improved by slightly [[octave shrinking|compressing the octave]], to get a tuning like [[62edt]].


What follows is a comparison of stretched- and compressed-octave 39edo tunings.
