: '''Deja Igliashon:''' There's lots of cool stuff happening in 16edo, but a surprising amount of it is basically just inherited from [[8edo]]. What 16edo adds to the mix is a nice [[5-limit]] major 3rd and a nice approximation to the 7th harmonic, and also the freaky-funky [[Mavila]][7] [[antidiatonic|inside-out diatonic]] (where major chords become minor, minor chords become major, diminished chords become augmented, and mice chase cats). But IDK, despite my high tolerance for tunings with awful or non-existent perfect 5ths, I've yet to find anything I can do in 16edo that I don't feel like I can do better in a different tuning. | : '''Deja Igliashon:''' There's lots of cool stuff happening in 16edo, but a surprising amount of it is basically just inherited from [[8edo]].

Besides that, it has [[armodue (temperament)|armodue]], basically an extremely flat fifth that doesn't sound like the 3rd harmonic at all. "Fifthiness" is pointless if not for approximating the 3rd harmonic, so I'm afraid I don't consider this approach to have much value. D-tier. | ||
