18-EDO does not approximate the 3rd Harmonic at all, unless a >30¢-error is considered acceptable. This makes it unsuitable for rendering common-practice music. However, it does offer excellent approximations of 27/25, 9/8, 7/6, 17/14, 21/16, and 15/11 (and their respective reciprocal intervals), so it is still capable of playing consonant music; however, in order to access these consonances, one must take a considerably "non-common-practice" approach.

=== Relationship to Other EDOs ===
18-EDO, aka the "third-tone" system, is related to [[12edo|12-tET]] by the whole-tone scale (which is [[6edo|6-EDO]]), since 18=6*3 and 12=6*2; hence a 12-tET "whole tone" is divided into 3 equal parts in 18-EDO. Since 18=9*2, 18-EDO contains two sets of [[9edo|9-EDO]], offset from each other by a third-tone. 18-EDO is related to [[13edo|13-EDO]], [[21edo|21-EDO]], [[23edo|23-EDO]], and [[28edo|28-EDO]] in that all are [[Father Temperament|"Father" temperaments]] (they temper out 16/15--the difference between a major third and perfect fourth). It is related to [[11edo|11-EDO]], [[15edo|15-EDO]], [[25edo|25-EDO]], and [[19edo|29-EDO]] in that they are all [[Amity Temperament|"Amity" temperaments]] ("Amity" is derived from the acronym of "Acute Minor Thirds", meaning a minor third sharper than 6/5 but still flatter than a neutral third).

==Application to Guitar== 
18-EDO is an ideal scale for the first-time refretter, because you can retain all the even-number frets from 12-tET--essentially 1/3 of your work is done for you!

The "Father Octatonic" scale maps very simply to a 6-string guitar tuned in "reverse-standard" tuning (tune using four 466.667¢ intervals, with one 533.333¢ interval between the 2nd and 3rd strings), making for a softer learning-curve than EDOs like 14, 16, or 21.

 -EDO, aka the &amp;quot;third-tone&amp;quot; system, is related to &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/12edo"&gt;12-tET&lt;/a&gt; by the whole-tone scale (which is &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/6edo"&gt;6-EDO&lt;/a&gt;), since 18=6*3 and 12=6*2; hence a 12-tET &amp;quot;whole tone&amp;quot; is divided into 3 equal parts in 18-EDO. Since 18=9*2, 18-EDO contains two sets of &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/9edo"&gt;9-EDO&lt;/a&gt;, offset from each other by a third-tone. 18-EDO is related to &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/13edo"&gt;13-EDO&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/21edo"&gt;21-EDO&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/23edo"&gt;23-EDO&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/28edo"&gt;28-EDO&lt;/a&gt; in that all are &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/Father%20Temperament"&gt;&amp;quot;Father&amp;quot; temperaments&lt;/a&gt; (they temper out 16/15--the difference between a major third and perfect fourth). It is related to &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/11edo"&gt;11-EDO&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/15edo"&gt;15-EDO&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/25edo"&gt;25-EDO&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/19edo"&gt;29-EDO&lt;/a&gt; in that they are all &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/Amity%20Temperament"&gt;&amp;quot;Amity&amp;quot; temperaments&lt;/a&gt; (&amp;quot;Amity&amp;quot; is derived from the acronym of &amp;quot;Acute Minor Thirds&amp;quot;, meaning a minor third sharper than 6/5 but still flatter than a neutral third).&lt;br /&gt;

 -EDO is an ideal scale for the first-time refretter, because you can retain all the even-number frets from 12-tET--essentially 1/3 of your work is done for you!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 The &amp;quot;Father Octatonic&amp;quot; scale maps very simply to a 6-string guitar tuned in &amp;quot;reverse-standard&amp;quot; tuning (tune using four 466.667¢ intervals, with one 533.333¢ interval between the 2nd and 3rd strings), making for a softer learning-curve than EDOs like 14, 16, or 21.&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;</pre></div>
