'''54:64:81''', is a [[minor triad]] found on the ii, iii, and vi of the [[3-limit]] [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]].
'''54:64:81''', also known as the '''Pythagorean minor triad''', is a just 3-limit [[minor triad]]. Its third differs from the third of the much simpler 5-limit minor triad [[10:12:15]] by only the [[81/80]] comma.
 
It may be considered a 3-limit approximation of [[10:12:15]] and [[27:32:40]], or a chord in its own right with a less-stable third. Unlike 10:12:15, 54:64:81 is [[ambitonal]].
