29 is the lowest edo which approximates the [[3_2|3:2]] just fifth more accurately than [[12edo]]: 3/2 = 701.955... cents; 17 degrees of 29edo = 703.448... cents. Since the fifth is slightly sharp, 29edo is a [[positive temperament]] -- a Superpythagorean instead of a Meantone system.

The 3 is the only harmonic, of the intelligibly low ones anyway, that 29edo approximates very closely, and it does so quite well. Nonetheless, and rather surprisingly, 29 is the smallest equal division which consistently represents the 15 odd limit. It is able to do this since it has an accurate 3, and the 5, 7, 11 and 13, while not very accurate, are all tuned flatly. Hence it tempers out a succession of fairly large commas: 250/243 in the 5-limit, 49/48 in the 7-limit, 55/54 in the 11-limit, and 65/64 in the 13-limit. If using these approximations is desired, 29edo actually shines.

If using these approximations is desired, 29edo actually shines, and it can be used for such things as an alternative to [[19edo]] for [[Marvel temperaments|negri]].

Another possible use for 29edo is as an equally tempered para-pythagorean scale. Using its fifth as a generator leads to a variant of [[Schismatic family|garibaldi temperament]] which is not very accurate but which has relatively low 13-limit complexity.
