Dividing the interval of 3/1 into 27 equal parts gives a scale with a basic step of 70.44 [[cent]]s, corresponding to 17.035 edo, which is nearly identical to one step of [[17edo]] (70.59 cents). Hence it has similar melodic and harmonic properties as 17edo, with the difference that 27 is not a [[prime number]].

27 being the third power of 3, and the base interval being 3/1, 27edt is a tuning where the number 3 prevails. This property seems to predestine 27edt as base tuning for Klingon music (since the tradtional Klingon number system is also based on 3). See, e.g., [[http://launch.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/tuning/message/86909]] and [[http://www.klingon.org/smboard/index.php?topic=1810.0]].
