Practically 19edo can be used ''adaptively'' on instruments which allow you to bend notes up: by different amounts, the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 13th harmonics are all tuned flat. This is in contrast to 12edo, where this is not possible since the 5th and 7th harmonics are not only much farther from just than they are in 19edo, but fairly sharp already.

Another option would be to use [[octave stretching]], which has similar benefits to adaptive use, but it also works for fixed-pitch Instruments. For more on that see the section: [[19edo#Octave stretch]].
