'''Keemun''' is an [[extension]] of the [[hanson]] temperament, and [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[49/48]], [[56/55]], and [[100/99]] in the [[11-limit]]. This means it uses the same simple mappings for the 7th and 11th harmonics as [[orgone]]. Unfortunately, the optimal tunings for the 3rd and 5th harmonics is substantially flatter than that for the 7th & 11th ones, requiring you to compromise one set for the other. The edos that support keemun in their patent vals are [[4edo]], [[15edo]], [[19edo]], and [[34edo]], with [[49edo|49d]] and [[64edo|64bde]] coming closer to balancing the errors equally.
