'''3/11-comma meantone''' is a tuning of [[meantone]] temperament where the [[3/2|fifth]] is flattened by 3/11 of the [[81/80|syntonic comma]], producing a fifth of 696.090 cents. This is approximated well by [[50edo]].

3/11-comma meantone is a tuning of meantone temperament where the fifth is flattened by 3/11 of the syntonic comma, producing a fifth of 696.090 cents. This is approximated well by 50edo. Its eigenmonzo is 125/96.

The fifth of 3/11-comma meantone is a good generator for mainline 5- and 7-limit meantone. The most natural way to extend 3/11-comma meantone into the 11, 13, 17 and 19-limits is meanenneadecal temperament.
