29 is the lowest edo which approximates the 3:2 | 29 is the lowest edo which approximates the 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. | ||
