EDO Impressions: I should try 29edo

EDOs I should try: 27, 31, 34, 43, 46, 50, 55?, 56?, 58, 62?, 72, 84, 87?, 94, 111

12: We've all heard this system thousands of times before. It has a good perfect fifth, which is essential. In my opinion, this system sounds much more like pythagorean tuning than 5-limit, though the slight tempering of the fifth reduces the dissonance of the thirds by pushing them towards the 5-limit ones, but they still don't really show 5-limit flavor. If you want true 5-limit use 53edo (or possibly a more tempered meantone system) instead. Still, the expressive possibilities are vast, though that doesn't mean you shouldn't use other systems.
