== Temperaments ==
If the comma is tempered out in 2.3.19/17, it leads to the '''little ganassi''' temperament, and if this is extended to the full prime subgroup 2.3.17.19, it leads to the '''ganassi''' temperament.
 
== Etymology ==
153/152 is named after {{w|Sylvestro Ganassi}}, who devised a well-temperament based in part on the consecutive integers 16:17:18:19, therefore making 19/17 span a whole tone just like 9/8 (18/16).
