For its size, 13ed11/5 has decent approximations of the 3rd and 4th harmonics, and a great approximation of the 7th harmonic.

It completely misses the 5th harmonic, however it nails the 10th harmonic almost exactly.

Given this, it could be approached as a 3.4.7 subgroup tuning, or even as a 3.4.7.10 tuning, which is quite the quirky combination.

When playing by ear, the 4/1 approximation, roughly 2415 cents, tends to sound like an equivalence or a tonal centre. This makes 13ed11/5 sound similar to 23ed4, or every second note of 46edo.
