== Tuning by ear ==
In principle, one can approximate 34edo by ear using only 5-limit intervals, using the fact that 17edo is very close to a circle of seventeen [[25/24]] chromatic semitones to within 1.5 cents, and using a pure 5/4 which is less than 2 cents off for the second chain. The overall tuning error, assuming everything is tuned perfectly, will be less than 3.5 cents, or a relative error of less than 10%.
