'''57/56''' is a [[superparticular]] interval of about 30.6¢ which makes the difference between [[4/3]] (about 498¢) and [[19/14]] (about 528.7¢) in [[19-limit]] [[just intonation]]; it is also the difference between [[19/16]] and [[7/6]]. It is also called the '''hendrix comma''', since by tempering it out, one can build an 8:10:14:19 [[hendrix chord]], which has steps of [[5/4]]-[[7/5]]-4/3. [[Patent val]]s which temper out the hendrix comma include those from {{EDOs| 9, 10, 12, 16, 21, 22 and 26 }} edo.
