In [[13-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''16/13''' is a tridecimal (13-based) neutral third measuring about 359.5¢. It is the inversion of [[13/8]], the 13th harmonic. It differs from [[5/4]] by [[65/64]], about 26.8¢. It differs from the undecimal neutral third [[11/9]] by [[144/143]], about 12¢. A [[List_of_root-3rd-P5_triads_in_JI|root-3rd-P5 triad]] featuring 16/13 is 26:32:39, which introduces another tridecimal neutral third, [[39/32]], which measures about 342.5¢. The interval between these two intervals is 512/507, about 17¢. While 16/13 is utonal, 39/32 is otonal, as it is the 39th overtone of the [[harmonic series]].
In [[13-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''16/13''', the '''(greater) tridecimal neutral third''', is a 13-limit-based interval measuring about 359.5¢. It is the inversion of [[13/8]], the 13th harmonic.

16/13 differs from the Pythagorean major third [[81/64]] by [[1053/1024]], about 48¢, from the classic major third [[5/4]] by [[65/64]], about 27¢, from the undecimal neutral third [[11/9]] by [[144/143]], about 12¢, and from the rastmic neutral third [[27/22]] by [[352/351]], about 4.9¢. A [[List_of_root-3rd-P5_triads_in_JI|root-3rd-P5 triad]] featuring 16/13 is 26:32:39, which introduces another tridecimal neutral third, [[39/32]], which measures about 342.5¢. The interval between these two intervals is [[512/507]], about 17¢. While 16/13 is utonal, 39/32 is otonal, as it is the 39th harmonic of the [[harmonic series]].

16/13 is a fraction of a cent away from the neutral third found in the 10''n'' family of edos.

[[Category:Just interval]]
16/13 is near the border-region between neutral thirds and submajor thirds, so it has a bright edge to it compared to narrower neutral thirds, while still sounding slightly darker than a major third like [[5/4]].
