In [[5-limit]] [[~~Just Intonation~~]], '''5/4''' is the [[frequency ratio]] between the 5th and 4th ~~harmonics~~. It has been called the '''just major third''' or '''~~classic~~ major third''' to distinguish it from other intervals in that neighborhood. Measuring about 386.3[[cent|¢]], it is about 13.7¢ away from [[12edo]]'s major third of ~~400¢~~. It has a distinctive "sweet" sound, and has been described as more "laid back" than its 12edo counterpart. Providing a novel consonance after 3, it is the basis for [[5-limit]] harmony. It is distinguished from the [[Pythagorean]] major third of [[81/64]] by the syntonic comma of [[81/80]], which measures about 21.5¢. 81/64 and 5/4 are both just intonation "major thirds", 81/64 having a more active and discordant quality, 5/4 sounding more "restful".

In [[5-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''5/4''' is the [[frequency ratio]] between the 5th and 4th [[harmonic]]s. It has been called the '''just major third''', '''classic(al) major third''', or '''ptolemaic major third'''<ref>For reference, see [[5-limit]].</ref> to distinguish it from other intervals in that neighborhood. Measuring about 386.3 [[cent|¢]], it is about 13.7{{c}} away from [[12edo]]'s major third of 400{{c}}. It has a distinctive "sweet" sound, and has been described as more "laid back" than its 12edo counterpart. Providing a novel consonance after 3, it is the basis for [[5-limit]] harmony. It is distinguished from the [[Pythagorean]] major third of [[81/64]] by the syntonic comma of [[81/80]], which measures about 21.5{{c}}, and from the Pythagorean diminished fourth of [[8192/6561]] by the [[schisma]], which measures about 1.95{{c}}. 81/64 and 5/4 are both just intonation "major thirds", 81/64 having a more active and discordant quality, 5/4 sounding more "restful".

In the context of the harmonic series, 5/4 can be heard between the 4th and 5th member of the series, demonstrated ~~here~~ melodically in singing into a resonant [[udderbot]] (from the fundamental up to 5 and then noodling between 5 and 4).

-In [[5-limit]] [[Just Intonation]], '''5/4''' is the [[frequency ratio]] between the 5th and 4th harmonics.
