39edo is a [[zeta valley edo]] and is generally poor at approximating primes for its size. Its poor approximations of harmonics 3, 5, 7, and 13 can all be improved by slightly [[octave shrinking|compressing the octave]], to get a tuning like [[ed6|101ed6]] or [[zpi| | 39edo is a [[zeta valley edo]] and is generally poor at approximating primes for its size.

39edo can be usefully mapped onto the val 39dfgijk. The [[Tenney-Euclidean]] tuning of this regular temperament is 30.67475 cents per step, which is closely approximated by [[62edt]] and [[173zpi]]. | 39edo can be usefully mapped onto the val 39dfgijk.
