All temperaments on this page have a period that is 1/26th of an octave.
All temperaments on this page have a period that is 1/26th of an octave. However, the {{monzo| -41 26 }} comma is not tempered out. Thus the 3/2 is not that of [[26edo]]. However, 7/4 is, as is 11/8 in the bosonic temperaments.


26edo is very accurate for 7th harmonic, the [[26-7-comma]] ({{monzo| 73 0 0 -26 }}, the amount by which 26 septimal whole tones ([[8/7]]) exceed 5 octaves) is tempered out by 26-fold multiple edos up to 1456 (such as [[26edo|26-]], [[130edo|130-]], [[286edo|286-]] or [[546edo|546edo]]).

== 26-commatic ==
{{Mathematical interest}}
 
The ''26-commatic'' temperament tempers out the [[26-comma]], {{monzo|-41 26}}. 26edo is notable for having a flattone, even if innacurate, fifth, which has seen some attention in music theory. Due to large error, 26edo and its double, [[52edo]], are the only temperaments tempering out this comma. Hence it primarily serves as an object of mathematical interest.

''Iron'' may be described as the {{nowrap| 130 & 494 }} temperament. It was named by [[Eliora]] in 2023 after the 26th element.
