171edo is a remarkable edo which serves as a microtemperament for the 7-limit, approximating the [[9-odd-limit]] [[tonality diamond]] within about 2/5 of a cent. The excellence of its 7-limit approximations is good enough to make it the eleventh [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning #Zeta EDO lists|zeta integral edo]] but not enough to make it a [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning #Zeta EDO lists|gap edo]].

Remarkable 5-limit commas 171et tempers out are 32805/32768 ([[schisma]]), {{monzo| 1 -27 18 }} ([[ennealimma]]), {{monzo| -14 -19 19 }} ([[enneadeca]]), and {{monzo| -29 -11 20 }} ([[gammic comma]]), and remarkable 7-limit commas 171et tempers out are 2401/2400 ([[breedsma]]), 4375/4374 ([[ragisma]]), 65625/65536 ([[horwell comma]]), 250047/250000 ([[landscape comma]]), 420175/419904 ([[wizma]]), and 703125/702464 ([[meter comma]]). So 171et supports a number of 7-limit rank-2 temperaments: [[pontiac]], [[sesquiquartififths]], [[term]], [[ennealimmal]], [[tertiaseptal]], [[supermajor]], [[enneadecal]], [[neptune]], [[mitonic]], and [[mutt]]. It notably provides the [[optimal patent val]] for the rank-3 [[horwell]] temperament, and is also an excellent tuning for the 5-limit [[Schismatic family|schismatic microtemperament]], tempering out 32805/32768, and the no-fives temperament tempering out {{monzo| -59 39 0 -1 }} ([[nanisma]]).

171 factors into primes as 3<sup>2</sup> × 19, and it shares the nearly pure [[7/6]] of [[9edo]] and the nearly pure [[6/5]] of [[19edo]], with every 7-limit interval expressible in terms of 2, 6/5 and 7/6.
