11edo has about equally bad sharp and flat mappings of [[prime]]s 3 and 5. The 7 and 13 are quite sharp, but the 11 is a little flat. To use it as a 2.7.11.13 tuning, slight [[octave shrinking]] is advisable. Examples of slightly compressed versions of 11edo include (least to most compressed) [[ed6|28ed6]], [[ed12|39ed12]], [[zpi|30zpi]], [[ed9|35ed9]] and [[ed7|31ed7]].

To use its primes 3 or 5, extreme octave shrinking can be used, at the cost of making the octaves sound significantly weaker. [[ed10|37ed10]] is a very compressed version of 11edo.
