[[18edo]] is usually considered the quintessential dual-fifth edo by people who work in dual-fifth systems (which are admittedly few). Its sharp fifth and flat fifth are almost equally off from just: it has a 733.3¢ sharp fifth 31.4¢ sharp from pure [[3/2]], and a 666.7¢ flat fifth is 35.3¢ flat. | [[18edo]] is usually considered the quintessential dual-fifth edo by people who work in dual-fifth systems (which are admittedly few).
