Template:EDO intro

1506edo is a very strong 13- and 17-limit system, since it is the first past 494 with a lower 13-limit relative error, and likewise the first with a lower 17-limit relative error. Like 494 it is distinctly consistent through the 17-odd-limit. It tends sharp, all of the odd primes to 17 being tuned sharply. A basis for the 13 limit commas is {4096/4095, 6656/6655, 9801/9800, 105644/105625, 371293/371250}, and for the 17-limit commas, {4096/4095, 4914/4913, 5832/5831, 6656/6655, 9801/9800, 28561/28560, 105644/105625}.
