'''69/64''', the '''nice second''', is the octave-reduced 69th harmonic. It is a [[23-limit]] interval that is near the border between neutral and supraminor seconds (although it is defined as an augmented unison by the [[FJS]]). It is [[897/896]] above the more common [[14/13]] interval, and so qualifies as a sinaic, as well as being roughly equidistant from the well-known [[17/16]] minor second and [[35/32]] neutral second.

===Etymology===

This interval was named by [[User:Jerdle|Jerdle]] in 2024. While the name "nice" resembles a combination of "neutral" and "vicesimotertial", the actual origin is rather different. ~~It's the 69th harmonic, what else was it going to be called?~~
